Syntax of if Statement
The if statement is a foundational tool in Python that allows us to make decisions in our code.
Let's break down the key components of the if statement syntax:
- Keyword
if: this keyword begins the conditional statement. Remember, it is case-sensitive—usingIfinstead ofifwill cause an error; - Condition: the condition is an expression that evaluates to
TrueorFalse. In this example, we check if a variable meets a certain requirement; - Colon
:: the colon signals that the following indented block belongs to theifstatement; - Indented Code Block: this block contains the code that runs only if the condition is
True.
Example 1: Standart Execution
12345steps_taken = 7500 step_goal = 10000 if steps_taken < step_goal: print(f"Keep going! You need {step_goal - steps_taken} more steps to reach your goal.")
Explanation
- The condition
steps_taken < step_goalchecks if the number of steps taken is less than the daily goal; - If the condition is True, the code inside the
ifblock is executed; - The message uses an f-string to dynamically include the number of steps remaining, making the output user-friendly and precise.
Example 2: When Nothing Executed
12345steps_taken = 10000 step_goal = 10000 if steps_taken < step_goal: print(f"Keep going! You need {step_goal - steps_taken} more steps to reach your goal.")
In this case, the condition steps_taken < step_goal evaluates to False because steps_taken is equal to step_goal. Since the condition is not met, the code block inside the if statement is not executed, and nothing is printed to the console. This demonstrates that the code only runs when the condition evaluates to True.
The image depicts the flow of an if statement:
- Condition Check: the program evaluates whether the condition is
TrueorFalse; - Execution: if the condition is
True, the indented code block runs. Otherwise, the program skips it.
