Python3 - Conditional Statements if, if-else, elif

What is an if condition in Python?

1. An if statement is a condition statement used to check a condition, and execute it if the condition holds true.

Should I use elif or if?

• Use elif when you want to check multiple conditions but only execute one specific block of code from a group. Use if when you want to evaluate multiple conditions independently, allowing more than one code block to run.

mark1 = 100
mark2 = 100

if mark1 > mark2:
    print("Mark1 is greater")
elif mark2 > mark1:
    print("mark2 is greater")
else:
    print("Both Are Equal")

Keyword	Meaning	When it runs	Condition required?
if	Checks the first condition	Runs if the condition is True	✅ Yes
elif	"Else If" – checks another condition	Runs only if the previous if/elif conditions are False	✅ Yes
else	Executes if no conditions matched	Runs when all previous conditions are False	❌ No
