If Elif Else

The document provides examples of using if, elif, and else statements in Python to control program flow based on different conditions. If statements allow executing an expression if a condition is true, and else can add additional behavior if the condition is false. Elif allows checking additional conditions if the first if statement's

if

if condition:
expression

z=4
if z % 2 == 0: #true
print("z is even")

z=5
if z%2 == 0: #false
print("checking" +str(z))
print("z is even)
it doesnot print the output beacuse expression is part of if.to print the odd
parts we need else

else
if condition:
expression
else:
expression

example
z=5
if z%2 == 0: #false
print("checking" +str(z))
print("z is even)
else:
print("z is odd")

elif
if condition:
expression
elif condition:
expression
else :
expression

example
z=3
if z%2== 0:
print("z is divisible by 2") #false
elif z%3 ==0
print("z is divisible by 3") #true
else:
print("z is neither divisible by 2 nor by 3")

but if both if and elif conditions hold, python doesnot print both ,it
prints 1st if condition

z=6
if z%2== 0:
print("z is divisible by 2") #false
elif z%3 ==0
print("z is divisible by 3") #true
else:
print("z is neither divisible by 2 nor by 3")

if
It's time to take a closer look around in your house.

Two variables are defined in the sample code: room, a string that tells you which
room of the house we're looking at, and area, the area of that room.

Instructions

Examine the if statement that prints out "Looking around in the kitchen." if room
equals "kit".
Write another if statement that prints out "big place!" if area is greater than 15.

# Define variables
room = "kit"
area = 14.0

# if statement for room


if room == "kit" :
print("looking around in the kitchen.")

# if statement for area


if area>15:
print("big place!")

Exercise
Exercise
Add else
On the right, the if construct for room has been extended with an else statement so
that "looking around elsewhere." is printed if the condition room == "kit"
evaluates to False.

Can you do a similar thing to add more functionality to the if construct for area?
Instructions
100 XP
Add an else statement to the second control structure so that "pretty small." is
printed out if area > 15 evaluates to False.

# Define variables
room = "kit"
area = 14.0

# if-else construct for room


if room == "kit" :
print("looking around in the kitchen.")
else :
print("looking around elsewhere.")

# if-else construct for area


if area > 15 :
print("big place!")
else:
print("prettysmall.")

Customize further: elif


It's also possible to have a look around in the bedroom. The sample code contains
an elif part that checks if room equals "bed". In that case, "looking around in the
bedroom." is printed out.

It's up to you now! Make a similar addition to the second control structure to
further customize the messages for different values of area.

Instructions
Add an elif to the second control structure such that "medium size, nice!" is
printed out if area is greater than 10.

# Define variables
room = "bed"
area = 14.0

# if-elif-else construct for room


if room == "kit" :
print("looking around in the kitchen.")
elif room == "bed":
print("looking around in the bedroom.")
else :
print("looking around elsewhere.")

# if-elif-else construct for area


if area > 15 :
print("big place!")
elif area>10:
print("medium size, nice!")
else :
print("pretty small.")
