If elif else Structure in Python

Hello friends, lets learn about the if-elif-else structure.

In C we write else if, here we use elif.

else is optional. 


Check out this program:

 

x = 5

y = 10

z = 20

if x > y:

  print ('x is greater than y')

elif x < z:

  print ('x is less than z')

elif 5>2:

  print ('5 is greater than 2')

else:

  print ('if and elif(s) never ran')

Output

 

 

The if elif else is a code together, anyone one of it returns true then we come out of the loop.

As in this case, we see than 5>2 is true but since the statement above it is true, it came out of the loop.
