Conditional Handling
in Python

Learn how to use conditional statements to


control the flow of your Python programs
based on different conditions and scenarios.

What is Conditional
Handling?
Conditional handling allows your
program to make decisions based on
specific conditions.

It uses statements like if, if-else, and if-


elif-else to execute different code blocks
based on whether conditions are true or
false.

This helps create dynamic, responsive,


and logical programs.

One Condition - if Statement

The simplest form of conditional handling is the


if statement. It executes a block of code only if
the condition evaluates to True.

Syntax

Example

If the condition (age >= 18) is true, the message is


displayed.

If false, the program skips the indented block.

How if Statements Work

Condition Evaluation

The condition inside the if statement is


evaluated.

True Condition

If the condition is True, the indented code


block runs.

False Condition

If the condition is False, the block is


skipped.

Indentation is crucial in Python.


Key Conditions use comparison operators
Notes: (e.g., ==, !=, <, >, <=, >=) or logical
operators (and, or, not).

Two Conditions - if-else


Statement
The if-else statement allows you to handle
two possible outcomes: one for True and
another for False.

Syntax

Example

How if-else Statements Work

Condition Evaluation

The condition is checked first.

True Condition

xecutes the block under if.

False Condition

Skips the if block and executes the else


block.

Always include an else block if you want


Key to handle both possibilities explicitly.
Notes: Use meaningful conditions to keep your
code readable.

Multiple Conditions -
if-elif-else Statement
The if-elif-else statement is used to handle more
than two conditions.

The if block is checked first.


If if is false, the program moves to elif (else-if).
If all conditions are false, the else block runs.

Syntax:

How if-elif-else
Statements Work
Python variables can store various types of data,
including:

Condition Evaluation Order:

The if condition is evaluated first.


If false, the program evaluates each elif
condition in sequence.
The first True condition executes its block
and exits the chain.

Default Case

If no conditions are true, the else block runs.

Use as many elif blocks as needed.


Key
Only one block will execute, even if
Notes
multiple conditions are true.

Using Logical Operators


in Conditions
Logical operators like and, or, and not allow
combining multiple conditions.

Example:

and: True if both conditions are true.

or: True if at least one condition is true.

not: Negates a condition.

Nested Conditions
You can nest one conditional statement
inside another to handle more complex
scenarios.

Example:

Keep nesting to a minimum for


Key readability.
Notes Use indentation carefully to
avoid errors.

Common Errors in
Conditional Handling

Indentation Errors
Forgetting to properly indent code blocks

Syntax Errors
Using incorrect syntax for conditions.

Logical Errors
Misusing operators or conditions

Best Practices for


Conditional Statements

Use meaningful conditions to make the


code self-explanatory.

Avoid deeply nested conditions; use elif


or separate functions if possible.

Test all possible branches of your


conditions.

Use comments to clarify complex logic.

Wrap-Up

"Master Conditional Handling for Smarter


Python Programs"
Understanding and using conditional
statements effectively allows you to build
programs that respond dynamically to input
and scenarios. Practice combining conditions
and logical operators to handle real-world
decision-making scenarios. Happy coding!
