5.2 If, Else and Elif

Notes

An if statement runs a block of code only when its condition is True. The block is indented.

score = 72
if score >= 90:
print("A")
elif score >= 70:
print("C or better")
else:
print("Keep trying")

• Python checks conditions top to bottom and runs only the first block whose condition is True.
• else runs when no earlier condition was True. A colon : ends each condition line.
• This prints C or better: 72 is not at least 90, but it is at least 70.
