Python Conditional Statements,
Decision making in Python
programming, Python if
statement, Python else
statement, and Python elif
statement.

Python Language Conditional
Statements
Conditional Statements are part of
control flow statements in computer
programming
The control flow is the order in which the
computer executes statements in a script.
z
We have three types of Control
Flow Statements in Python:
1. Conditional
Statements
2. Loop Statements
3. Branching Statements
z
in Python language also we can find these 3 types of statements
Generally in any Programming language, conditional Statements
are 2 types…
1. If Statement
2. Switch Statement
but in Python no Switch statement, only if the statement
z
Usage of Decision making/Conditional
Statements
1. Run a block of statements when a condition is true
2. Run a block of statements when a condition is true, otherwise, run
another block of statements
3. Run a block of statements when a compound condition is true
4. Run a block of statements when a compound condition is true,
otherwise, run another block of statements
5. Decide among several alternates (elif)
6. Run a block of statements when more than one condition is true
(nested if)
z
1. Run a block of statements when a
condition is true
Example:
a=100
b=900
if (a>b):
print(“A is Big Number”)
z
2. Run a block of statements when a condition is
true, otherwise, run another block of statements
EXAMPLE:
a=100
b=900
if (a>b):
print(“A is Big Number”)
else:
print(“B is Big Number”)
z
True or False
10 > 20
10.234 > 10345
“Philippines” > “China”
z
EXAMPLE:
a=”Philippines”
b=”China”
if (a>b):
print(“Philippines is Big”)
else:
print(“China is Big”)
z
3. Run a block of statements when a
compound condition is true
EXAMPLE:
a=100
b=90
c=80
if ((a>b) and (a>c)):
print (“A is Big Number”)
z
3. Run a block of statements when a
compound condition is true
EXAMPLE:
a, b, c = 100, 90, 80
if ((a>b) and (a>c)):
print (“A is Big Number”)
z
4. Run a block of statements when a compound
condition is true, otherwise run another block of
statements
a=100
b=90
c=800
d=70
if ((a>b) and (a>c) and (a>d)):
print (“A is Big Number”)
else:
print (“A is Not Big Number”)
z
4. Run a block of statements when a compound
condition is true, otherwise run another block of
statements
a=100
b=90
c=800
d=70
if ((a>b) or (a>c) or (a>d)):
print (“A is Big Number”)
else:
print (“A is Not Big Number”)
z
5. Decide among several alternates(elif)
if (condition):
Statement(s)
elif (condition):
Statement(s)
elif (condition):
Statement(s)
else:
Statement((s)
z Example:
a=0
if ((a>=1) and (a<=100)):
print (“A is a Small Number”)
elif ((a>100) and (a<=1000)):
print (“A is a Medium Number”)
elif ((a>1000) and (a<=10000)):
print (“A is a Big Number”)
elif (a>10000):
print (“A is a High Number”)
else:
print (“A is either Zero or Negative Number”)
z
5. Execute a block of Statements when
more than one condition is true (Nested if)
syntax:
if (condition){
if (condition){
if (condition){
Statements
z
5. Execute a block of Statements when
more than one condition is true (Nested if)
syntax:
if (condition){
if (condition){
if (condition){
Statements
z
5. Execute a block of Statements when
more than one condition is true (Nested if)
a, b, c, d = 100, 90, 70, 500
if (a>b):
if (a>c):
if (a>d):
print (“A is a Big Number”)
else :
print (“A is Not a Big Number”)
z
Using Compound Condition
a, b, c, d = 100, 90, 70, 50;
if ((a>b) and (a>c) and (a>d)):
print (“A is a Big Number”)
else:
print (“A is Not a Big Number”)
z
Problem: Find the biggest variable (Integer variables)
among 4 variables
Use Compound Condition and else if…
a=100
b=90
c=70
d=50
z
Problem: Find the biggest variable (Integer variables)
among 4 variables
Use Compound Condition and else if…
if ((_____) and (______ and (_____)):
print (“__________”)
elif ((______) and (______) and (_____)):
print (“___________”)
elif ((_____) and (______) and (______)):
print (“___________”)
else:
print (“_____________”)
z
Problem: Find the biggest variable (Integer variables)
among 4 variables
Use Compound Condition and else if…
if ((a>b) and (a>c) and (a>d)):
print (“A is a Big Number”)
elif ((b>a) and (b>c) and (b>d)):
print (“B is a Big Number”)
elif ((c>a) and (c>b) and (c>d)):
print (“C is a Big Number”)
else:
print (“D is a Big Number”)
