    9                     Conditional Statements

                                                                      in Python

                         Let’s surf

                             Decision Making Statements

                      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  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

                                                                                                                      127

                                                                                        Conditional Statements in Python  127
