Python Statement

Python statements are instructions executed by the interpreter, which can be simple, multi-line, or compound. Simple statements include expressions and assignments, while multi-line statements can be split using backslashes or parentheses. Compound statements, such as if, for, and while, group multiple statements and affect their execution.

Python Statements – Multiline, Simple, and

Compound Examples
Python statements are the code instructions that are executed by the
Python interpreter. Python executes statements one by one as they
appear in the code.

Python Statements Examples


Let’s look at some simple statement examples.
count = 10 # statement 1

class Foo: # statement 2


pass # statement 3

Python Multi-line Statements


Python statements are usually written in a single line. The newline
character marks the end of the statement. If the statement is very
long, we can explicitly divide it into multiple lines with the line
continuation character (\).

Let’s look at some examples of multi-line statements.


message = "Hello There.\nYou have come to the right place to
learn Python Programming.\n" \
"Follow the tutorials to become expert in Python. " \
"Don't forget to share it with your friends too."
math_result = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + \
5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + \
9 + 10
print(message)
print(math_result)

Python Statements

Python supports multi-line continuation inside parentheses ( ),


brackets [ ], and braces { }. The brackets are used by List and the
braces are used by dictionary objects. We can use parentheses for
expressions, tuples, and strings.
message = ("Hello\n"
"Hi\n"
"Namaste")

math_result = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
5 + 6 + 7 + 8 +
9 + 10)

prime_numbers_tuple = (2, 3, 5, 7,
11, 13, 17)

list_fruits = ["Apple", "Banana",


"Orange", "Mango"]

dict_countries = {"USA": "United States of America", "IN": "India",


"UK": "United Kingdom", "FR": "France"}

Can we have multiple statements in a single line?


We can use a semicolon (;) to have multiple statements in a single line.
x = 1; y = 2; z = 3

Python Simple Statements


Python simple statement is comprised of a single line. The multiline
statements created above are also simple statements because they
can be written in a single line. Let’s look at some important types of
simple statements in Python.
1. Python Expression Statement
i = int("10") # expression is evaluated and the result is
assigned to the variable.
sum = 1 + 2 + 3 # statement contains an expression to be
evaluated first.

2. Python Assignment Statement


count = 10 # value is assigned to the variable, no expression is
evaluated

message = "Hi"

3. Python Assert Statement


assert 5 < 10
assert (True or False)

4. Python pass Statement


def foo():
pass # pass statement

5. Python del Statement


name = "Python"
del name # del statement

6. Python return Statement


def foo():
return 10 # return statement

7. Python yield Statement


def yield_statement():
yield 'Statement 1' # yield statement

8. Python raise Statement


def raise_example():
raise TypeError('Exception Example') # raise statement
9. Python break Statement
numbers = [1, 2, 3]

for num in numbers:


if num > 2:
break # break statement

10. Python continue Statement


numbers = [1, 2, 3]

for num in numbers:


if num > 2:
continue # continue statement
print(num)

11. Python import Statement


import collections
import calendar as cal
from csv import DictReader

12. Python global Statement


name = "Python"
def global_example():
global name # global statement
name = "Flask"
print(name) # prints Python
global_example()
print(name) # prints Flask
13. Python nonlocal Statement
def outer_function():
scope = "local"
def inner_function():
nonlocal scope # nonlocal statement
scope = "nonlocal"
print(scope)
inner_function()
print(scope)
outer_function()

Python Compound Statements


Python compound statements contain a group of other statements
and affect their execution. The compound statement generally spans
multiple lines. Let’s briefly look into a few compound statements.

1. Python if Statement
if 5 < 10:
print("This will always print")
else:
print("Unreachable Code")

2. Python for Statement


for n in (1, 2, 3):
print(n)

3. Python while Statement


count = 5
while count > 0:
print(count)
count -= 1
4. Python try Statement
try:
print("try")
except ValueError as ve:
print(ve)

5. Python with Statement


with open('data.csv') as file:
file.read()

6. Python Function Definition Statement

A python function definition is an executable statement. Its execution


binds the function name in the current local namespace to a function
object. The function is executed only when it’s called.
def useless():
pass

7. Python Class Definition Statement

It’s an executable statement. Python class definition defines the class


object.
class Data:
id = 0

8. Python Coroutines Function Definition Statement


import asyncio
async def ping(url):
print(f'Ping Started for {url}')
await asyncio.sleep(1)
print(f'Ping Finished for {url}')

Summary
Python statements are used by the Python interpreter to run the code.
It’s good to know about the different types of statements in Python.
