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
