THE IF STATEMENTS

OF PYTHON
 The if statements are conditional statements
in Python and these implement selection
constructs.
 An if statement tests a particular condition;if
the condition evaluates to True, a set of
statements is executed. Otherwise,the set of
statements is ignored.
THE IF STATEMENT
 The simple if statement tests a condition and
if the condition evaluates to True,it carries
out some instructions and does nothing in
case condition evaluates to False.
Syntax:
if <condition>:
Statement(s)
where Statement(s) may consists of a single
statement, a compound statement or just
the pass statement.
Example:
ch=‘ ’
if ch==‘ ‘:
space=1
chars=1
Example:
ch=input(“Enter a single character”)
if ch>='0' and ch<='9':
print("you entered a digit")
if ch>='A'and ch<='Z':
print("upper case")
if ch>='a' and ch<='z':
print("lower case")
if ch==' ':
print("space")
else:
print(“spl character”)
IF ELSE STATEMENT
 The form of if statement tests a condition
and if the condition evaluates to true, it
carries out statement indented below if
 In case condition evaluates to false ,it
carries out statements indented below else.
Syntax:
if <condition>:
Statement(s)
else:
Statement(s)
 Example:
a=10
if a>=0:
print(“a is zero or positive”)
else:
print(“a is negative”)
a=int(input(“enter a number”))
if a%2==0:
print(a, “is even”)
else:
print(a, “ is odd”)
PROGRAM TO ACCEPT 3 NUMBERS AND
PRINT THE LARGEST OF THE THREE
x=y=z=0
x=int(input(“enter the I st number”)) #20
y=int(input(“enter the second number”)) #100
z=int(input(“enter the third number”))#500
max=x # max=500
if y>max: #100>20
max=y
if z>max: #500>100
max=z
print(“The largest number is”,max)
THE IF –ELIF STATEMENT
Sometimes if we want to check a condition
when control reaches the else part
ie.,condition test in the form of else if.
Syntax:
if<condition>:
statement(s)
elif <condition>:
statement(s)
........
else:
statement(s)
Example:
ch=input(“enter a character(‘+’,’-’.*’,/’)”)
a,b=10,5
if ch==‘+’:
print(“the sum of a and b is”,a+b)
elif ch==‘-’:
print(“the difference of a and b is “,a-b)
elif ch==‘*’:
print(“the product of a and b is”,a*b)
elif ch==‘/’:
print(“The quotient of a and b is”, a/b)
else:
print(“invalid”)
print(”thank u”)
NESTED IF
A nested if is an if that has another if in it’s if’s body
or in elif’s body or in its else body.
FORMAT OF NESTED IF(1):
if<condition>:
if<condition>:
statement(s)
else:
statement(s)
elif <condition>:
statement(s)
else:
statement(s)
 FORMAT OF NESTED IF(2):
if<condition>:
statement(s)
elif <condition>:
if <condition>:
statement(s)
else:
statement(s)
else:
statement(s):
FORMAT OF NESTED IF(3):
if<condition>:

elif<condition>:

else:
if<condition>:

else:

FORMAT OF NESTED IF(4):
if <condition>:
if <condition>:
statement(s)
else:

elif<condition>:
if <condition>:
statement(s)
else:

PROGRAM

OUPUT (1)
if(4+5==10):
print(“true”)
else:
print(“false”)
print(“true”)
OUTPUT(2)
x=1
if x>3:
if x>4:
print("A",end=" ")
else:
print("B",end=" ")
elif x<2:
if x!=0:
print("C",end=“ ")
print("D")
