if, elif, and else statements:

if Statement:

The if statement is used to conditionally execute a block of code based on a given condition.

if condition:
    # Code to be executed if the condition is True

elif Statement:

The elif (else if) statement allows you to check multiple conditions sequentially after the initial if statement. It is executed only if the previous conditions are False.

if condition1:
    # Code to be executed if condition1 is True
elif condition2:
    # Code to be executed if condition2 is True
elif condition3:
    # Code to be executed if condition3 is True
else:
    # Code to be executed if none of the conditions are True

else Statement:

The else statement is used to provide a default block of code that will be executed when none of the preceding conditions in an if-elif chain are True.

if condition:
    # Code to be executed if condition is True
else:
    # Code to be executed if condition is False

Example:

x = 10

if x > 10:
    print("x is greater than 10")
elif x < 10:
    print("x is less than 10")
else:
    print("x is equal to 10")

In this example, the program checks whether x is greater than 10, less than 10, or equal to 10, and executes the corresponding block of code based on the condition.

Remember:

• Indentation is crucial in Python to define blocks of code.
• You can have multiple elif statements, but only one else statement (optional).
• Conditions are evaluated sequentially, and the first True condition will execute its associated block.

This control flow structure allows you to create flexible and responsive programs by directing the execution path based on different conditions.
