Python elif Statements :

The elif Statement :

The elif keyword is pythons way of saying "if the previous conditions were not true, then try this condition".

Syntax :

if expression1: statement(s)
elif expression2: statement(s)
elif expression3: statement(s)
else: statement(s)

Example :

  1. a = 786
  2. b = 786
  4. if(a < b) : print("a greater than b")
  5. elif (a > b) : print("b greater than a [elif statement]")
  6. elif (a==b) : print("a and b are equal [elif statement]")
  7. else : print("a and b are not equal")
  9. input()

Output :

python elif statements

Nested if-elif-else Statement :

C++ nested if Statements | C# nested if Statements - There may be a situation when you want to check for another condition after a condition resolves to true. In such a situation, you can use the nested construct.

Example :

  1. a = 200
  2. b = 20
  3. c = 200
  5. if (a == c):
  6. if (a > 200):
  7. print("a is small [nested - 1]")
  8. elif (a == 200):
  9. print("a is equal [nested - 1]")
  10. if( a != b ) :
  11. print("a is not equal to b [nested - 2]")
  12. elif(a == b) :
  13. print("a is equal to b [[nested - 2]]")
  14. else :
  15. print("another expression [nested - 2]")
  16. else:
  17. print("a is not equal [nested - 1]")
  18. elif (a == b):
  19. print("a and b are equal")
  20. else:
  21. print("a is not equal")
  23. input()

Output :

python nested if-elif-else statements
