How do you write an If Statement in Python?

The Python if statement is used to determine whether or not a specific statement or set of statements will be performed. There are various methods to write an if statement in a Python program. These are –

Python if statement
Python if…else statement
Python if…elif…else statement
Python nested if statement
Python shorthand if statement
Python shorthand if…else statement

The simplest of them is the if statement. Its syntax is as follows –

                    
if condition:
     statements(s)

Example

Copy Code

                    
# Python program to check if 2 numbers are equal or not using if statement
a = 25
b = 25

if a == b:
    print('Values are equal')

Output

Values are equal

Another most common if statement in Python is the if…else statement.

Example

Copy Code

                    
# Python program to demonstrate if…else
ch = input('Enter any character: ')
vow = 'aeiouAEIOU'

if ch in vow:
     print("Entered character is a vowel")
else:
     print("Entered character is not a vowel")

Output
