| Python: Simple IF Statement #4 | - Big data with Python

In the heart of programming logic, we have the if statement in Python. The if statement is a conditional that, when it is satisfied, activates some part of code. Often partnered with the if statement are else if and else.

However, Python's else if is shortened into elif. If statements are generally coupled with variables to produce more dynamic content.

The best way to learn new things is to take a practical approach of the things you want to learn. Here is a fragment of code that demonstrates the use of if statement in Python:

ƒ python command

mark = float(input('Enter your M: '))

if mark >= 80:

grade = 'A'

elif mark >= 65:

grade = 'B'

elif mark >= 50:

grade = 'C'

else:

grade = 'D'

print(grade)

√ output

Enter your M: 50
