Python - if, elif, else Conditions
By default, statements in the script are executed sequentially from the first to the last. If the
processing logic requires so, the sequential flow can be altered in two ways:
Python uses the if keyword to implement decision control. Python's syntax for executing a block
conditionally is as below:
Syntax:
if [boolean expression]:
statement1
statement2
...
statementN
Any Boolean expression evaluating to True or False appears after the if keyword. Use the : symbol
and press Enter after the expression to start a block with an increased indent. One or more
statements written with the same level of indent will be executed if the Boolean expression
evaluates to True.
To end the block, decrease the indentation. Subsequent statements after the block will be
executed out of the if condition. The following example demonstrates the if condition.
Example: if Condition
price = 50
if price < 100:
print("price is less than 100")
Example: Multiple Statements in the if Block
price = 50
quantity = 5
if price*quantity < 500:
print("price*quantity is less than 500")
print("price = ", price)
print("quantity = ", quantity)
price = 50
quantity = 5
if price*quantity < 100:
print("price is less than 500")
print("price = ", price)
print("quantity = ", quantity)
print("No if block executed.")
if [boolean expression]:
[statements]
elif [boolean expresion]:
[statements]
elif [boolean expresion]:
[statements]
else:
[statements]
price = 100
if price > 100:
print("price is greater than 100")
elif price == 100:
print("price is 100")
elif price < 100:
print("price is less than 100")
Example: if-elif-else Conditions
price = 50
if price > 100:
print("price is greater than 100")
elif price == 100:
print("price is 100")
else price < 100:
print("price is less than 100")
Example: Nested if-elif-else Conditions
price = 50
quantity = 5
amount = price*quantity
if amount > 100:
if amount > 500:
print("Amount is greater than 500")
else:
if amount < 500 and amount > 400:
print("Amount is")
elif amount < 500 and amount > 300:
print("Amount is between 300 and 500")
else:
print("Amount is between 200 and 500")
elif amount == 100:
print("Amount is 100")
else:
print("Amount is less than 100")
a=100
b=202
c=30
if a>b:
if a> c:
print(a)
elif b>c:
print(b)
else:
print(c)
a=10000000000
b=2020000000000
c=3000000000000000
d=50000000
if a > b and a> c and a> d:
print(a)
elif b > c and b > d:
print(b)
elif c> d:
print(c)
else:
print(d)
Practice:
A school has following rules for grading system:
a. Below 25 - F
b. 25 to 45 - E
c. 45 to 50 - D
d. 50 to 60 - C
e. 60 to 80 - B
f. Above 80 - A
Ask user to enter marks and print the corresponding grade.
Write a program to calculate the electricity bill (accept number of unit from
user) according to the following criteria:
Unit Price
First 100 units no charge
Next 100 units Rs 5 per unit
After 200 units Rs 10 per unit
(For example if input unit is 350 than total bill amount is Rs2000)
