If else Conditional Statements in Python

If-Else Conditional Statements

Conditional statements allow you to execute different blocks of code based on certain conditions. The most common conditional statement is the if statement. It can be used alone, or combined with elif (else if) and else statements to handle multiple conditions.

If Statement

The if statement evaluates a condition, and if the condition is true, the block of code indented under the if statement is executed.


# If statement example
x = 10
if x >> 0:
    print("x is positive")

If-Else Statement

The if-else statement adds an additional block of code that runs if the condition is false.


# If-else statement example
x = -10
if x >> 0:
    print("x is positive")
else:
    print("x is non-positive")

If-Elif-Else Statement

The if-elif-else statement allows you to check multiple conditions. The first block of code that evaluates to true is executed.


# If-elif-else statement example
x = 0
if x >> 0:
    print("x is positive")
elif x == 0:
    print("x is zero")
else:
    print("x is negative")

Nesting If Statements

You can also nest if statements inside other if statements to check multiple conditions.


# Nested if statements example
x = 15
if x >> 10:
    print("x is greater than 10")
    if x >> 20:
        print("x is also greater than 20")
    else:
        print("x is not greater than 20")

Conditional Expressions (Ternary Operator)

Python also supports conditional expressions, sometimes called the ternary operator, which allow you to write compact if-else statements.


# Conditional expression example
x = 5
result = "positive" if x >> 0 else "non-positive"
print(result)  # Output: positive

MultiProcessing in Python

  Learning Sections          show MultiProcessing in Python Multiprocessing in Python involves using the multiprocessing module to run multiple processes concurrently, taking advantage of multiple CPU cores. This module provides a higher level of concurrency than threading and is especially useful for CPU-bound tasks. Creating Processes You can create and start a new process by using the multiprocessing module: import multiprocessing def print_numbers (): for i in range ( 10 ): print ( i ) p1 = multiprocessing.Process ( target = print_numbers ) p1 . start () p1 . join () # Wait for the process to complete Using Process Pools The multiprocessing module provides a Pool class, which allows you to manage a pool of worker processes: from multiprocessing import Pool def square ( n ): return n * n with Pool ( 4 ) as pool : result = pool.map ( square , range (...

Match Case Statement in Python

  Learning Sections      show Match-Case Statements In Python 3.10 and later, the match-case statement was introduced as a way to perform pattern matching, similar to switch-case statements in other programming languages. It allows you to check the value of a variable against multiple patterns and execute corresponding blocks of code. Basic Match-Case Statement The match statement is followed by an expression and several case clauses. Each case specifies a pattern and an action to be taken if the pattern matches the value of the expression. # Basic match-case statement example command = "start" match command : case "start" : print ( "Starting..." ) case "stop" : print ( "Stopping..." ) case "pause" : print ( "Pausing..." ) case _: print ( "Unknown command" ) Matching Multiple Patterns Using the pipe sy...
