Example Code Example Code


x = 10 x = 3
if x > 5: if x > 5:
print('x is greater than 5') print('x is greater than 5')
else:

Output: print('x is not greater than


5')
x is greater than 5

This code assigns the value 10 to the Output:

Output:
Output:
x is equal to 5
x is greater than 5

The code sets x to 7, then uses a
