Python if....else Statement

If..else statements are like extension of if statements. The if-else statement provides an else block combined with the if statement which is executed in the false case of the condition.

As we know if statement alone tells us that if a condition is true it will execute a block of statements and if the condition is false it won’t. But what if we want to do something else if the condition is false. Here comes the else statement. We can use the else statement with if statement to execute a block of code when the condition is false.

Syntax:

>>>if (condition):
          Statement
>>>else:
             Statement

Flow chart:

Example:

a = 2 
b = 3
if a > b:
    print("a is greater than b")
else:
    print("a is less than b")

Output:

a is less than b
