If statements, Elif, Else, Short Hand If, Short Hand If ... Else, And, Or, Nested If and The pass Statement in Python 3.7

Python Conditions and If statements:-

Python supports the usual logical conditions from mathematics:

  • Equals: a == b
  • Not Equals: a != b
  • Less than: a < b
  • Less than or equal to: a <= b
  • Greater than: a > b
  • Greater than or equal to: a >= b

These conditions can be used in several ways, most commonly in "if statements" and loops.

An "if statement" is written by using the if keyword.

Example

If statement:

a = 33
b = 200
if b > a:
  print("b is greater than a")
In this example we use two variables, a and b, which are used as part of the if statement to test whether b is greater than a. As a is 33, and b is 200, we know that 200 is greater than 33, and so we print to screen that "b is greater than a".

Python Elif:-

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

Example

a = 33
b = 33
if b > a:
  print("b is greater than a")
elif a == b:
  print("a and b are equal")
In this example a is equal to b, so the first condition is not true, but the elif condition is true, so we print to screen that "a and b are equal".

Python Else:-

The else keyword catches anything which isn't caught by the preceding conditions.

Example

a = 200
b = 33
if b > a:
  print("b is greater than a")
elif a == b:
  print("a and b are equal")
else:
  print("a is greater than b")
In this example a is greater than b, so the first condition is not true, also the elif condition is not true, so we go to the else condition and print to screen that "a is greater than b".

Short Hand If in Python:-

If you have only one statement to execute, you can put it on the same line as the if statement.

Example

One line if statement:

if a > b: print("a is greater than b")

Short Hand If ... Else in Python:-

If you have only one statement to execute, one for if, and one for else, you can put it all on the same line:

Example

One line if else statement:

a = 2
b = 330
print("A") if a > b else print("B")

And

The and keyword is a logical operator, and is used to combine conditional statements:

Example

Test if a is greater than b, AND if c is greater than a:

a = 200
b = 33
c = 500
if a > b and c > a:
  print("Both conditions are True")

Or

The or keyword is a logical operator, and is used to combine conditional statements:

Example

Test if a is greater than b, OR if a is greater than c:

a = 200
b = 33
c = 500
if a > b or a > c:
  print("At least one of the conditions is True")

Nested If

You can have if statements inside if statements, this is called nested if statements.

Example

x = 41

if x > 10:
  print("Above ten,")
  if x > 20:
    print("and also above 20!")
  else:
    print("but not above 20.")

The pass Statement

if statements cannot be empty, but if you for some reason have an if statement with no content, put in the pass statement to avoid getting an error.

Example

a = 33
b = 200

if b > a:
  pass

findall, search, split, sub Function in Python 3.7

By -
  The findall() Function The  findall()  function returns a list containing all matches. Example Print a list of all matches: import  re txt =  "The rain in Spain" x = re.findall( "ai" ,  txt) print (x) The list contains the matches in the order they are found. If no matches are found, an empty list is returned: Example Return an empty list if no match was found: import  re txt =  "The rain in Spain" x = re.findall( "Portugal" ,  txt) print (x) The search() Function The  search()  function searches the string for a match, and returns a  Match object  if there is a match. If there is more than one match, only the first occurrence of the match will be returned: Example Search for the first white-space character in the string: import  re txt =  "The rain in Spain" x = re.search( "\s" ,  txt) print ( "The first white-space character is located in position:" , x.start()) If no matches are found, the value  N...

Try Except, Raise an exception, String Formatting in Python 3.7

By -
  Python  Try Except:- The  try  block lets you test a block of code for errors. The  except  block lets you handle the error. The  finally  block lets you execute code, regardless of the result of the try- and except blocks. Exception Handling When an error occurs, or exception as we call it, Python will normally stop and generate an error message. These exceptions can be handled using the  try  statement: Example The  try  block will generate an exception, because  x  is not defined: try :    print (x) except :    print ( "An exception occurred" ) Since the try block raises an error, the except block will be executed. Without the try block, the program will crash and raise an error: Example This statement will raise an error, because  x  is not defined: print (x) Many Exceptions You can define as many exception blocks as you want, e.g. if you want to execute a special block of code for ...
