    7                     Conditional Statements

                                                                       in Python

                              Decision Making Statements                             Some More Programs

                       Let’s PLug-in                                                                   Computational Thinking

                         If a = 8, b = 2 and c = 20, then what will be the output of the following statements:
                         1.   print(a > b and b < c)   =     _________________
                         2.  print(a ** b + c)        =      _________________

                         3.  print(a, b, c)           =      _________________
                         4.  print(a > b or b > c)    =      _________________
                         5.  print(a // b – 2 + c)     =     _________________

                      There are situations in life when we need to decide based on a situation. For example, if it rains, I will
                      stay at home or else I shall visit the market. Similar situations arise in programming as well, where we
                      need to make some decisions and based on these decisions, execute a set of commands. We need to
                      determine which action is to be taken and which statement is to be executed, if the outcome is true or
                      false. In this chapter, we will learn about decision making statements of Python.

                             DECISION MAKING STATEMENTS

                      Decision making in Python is done by called conditional statements which decide the flow of program
                      execution. The following conditional statements are available in Python:

                         if statement
                         if...else statement

                         Nested if statement

                         if…elif…else ladder
