Using conditions

If you need to check some conditions to execute your code, you can use if statements. You can take a look on Python Operators to know more about all types of operators for python.

print("Please, enter your genre:")
print("1 - Male")
print("2 - Female")
genre = int(input())

if genre == 1:
  print("You're a men")
if genre == 2:
  print("You're a women")

It's important to know that after each statement we have to indent the statement content. Usually, two blank spaces is the default indent mark for python but you can customize it. It means that all indent code will be execute only if it satisfies the if condition. So, the two pieces of code below will be differents.

if genre == 1:
  print("You're a men")
print("my sample string") # it will be always printed 
if genre == 2:
  print("You're a women")

if genre == 1:
  print("You're a men")
  print("my sample string") # it will be only printed when genre equals 1
if genre == 2:
  print("You're a women")

Here we have another exemple to check if a person is an adult, child or a teenager.

print("Please, enter your age:")
age = int(input())

if age < 13:
  print("You're a child")
elif age < 18:
  print("You're a teenager")
else:
  print("You're an adult")

You can combine multi conditions using logical operators like and and or

print("Please, enter your genre:")
print("1 - Male")
print("2 - Female")
genre = int(input())

print("Please, enter your age:")
age = int(input())

if genre == 1 and age >= 12:
  print("Your birthday's gift will be a playstation")
elif genre == 2 and age < 10:
  print("Your birthday's gift will be a doll")
else:
  print("Your birthday's gift will be a surprise")
