There is something in math called Conditional expressions. They are expressi\u00f3n that can only be answered with YES or NOT. So the statements needed to declare one expression of this kind must be also special, they are called conditionals.<\/p>\n

So we must use this statement to value if our expression is True or False. For that purpose we’ll use the special word “If”<\/p>\n

“If” in python means the same as it does in the english language. So after typing “If” you must state the expression you want to evaluate, either to be TRUE, or FALSE.<\/p>\n

An example of this will be.<\/p>\n

x = 5<\/p>\n

if ( x == 5):<\/p>\n

print(‘True’)<\/p>\n

It is very important that at the end of our statement we put a colon (:) because this means that the block of code we write next to it (actually under it and with a space tab) will be part of what will be executed in case that our conditional turns out to be TRUE.<\/p>\n

In the previous example, the code i wrote translated to english will literally mean:<\/p>\n

set the value of x to 5<\/p>\n

if x is equal to 5, print ‘True’<\/p>\n

But what if our expression is valuated at False. That would mean that our block of code we wrote under the expression wont be executed. In this case we have two options, we can just let it like that or we can arrange a second conditional to say what we want the computer to execute in case that it (the second conditional) turns out TRUE. For this purpose we can use the special word: ELIF, this is kind of a combination of Else If.<\/p>\n

So let’s see an example.<\/p>\n
