Writing a Simple if Statements

An if statement is written by using the if keyword. Just like for, indentation and colon (:) is important here.

Making Conditional Statements with else

Sometimes we want to declare an action when the condition holds, and something else when it does not hold. You can use if-else syntax in this case. 

Chaining Conditions with if-elif-else

Many real-world situations have more than two possible conditions. In this case, this if-elif-else chain can be used.

In a long if chains, it is useful to put the conditions into variables.

WRITE BETTER CODE
Writing Conditions Neatly

The main focus in if statement is the condition. 

• Don't compare boolean values to True or False using ==.

• Split long conditions into few lines.

LEARN FROM ERRORS
SyntaxError when else has a Condition

else does not need a condition. If you want to use a second condition, use elif instead. Replace else with elif to fix this error.
