What is an Example of an If Statement?

Python if statements are used when there arises a situation to choose between multiple options depending on the results of the conditionality. For example, a number entered by the user needs to be categorized as a positive number or negative number. For such a case, the if statement provides a path for implementation. Let see example of an if statement.

Example 1

Copy Code

                    
# Python program to check if number is positive or negative
num = float(input('Enter a number: '))

if num >= 0:
     print('Positive Number found')
else:
     print('Negative Number found')

Output

Enter a number: 10.4 Positive Number found

Example

Copy Code

                    
# Python program to check voting eligibility
age = int(input("Enter your age: "))

if age >=18:
     print("Eligible for Voting")
else:
     print("Not eligible for voting")

Output –

Enter your age: 45 Eligible for Voting

Another example where if statements can be used is when we want to categorize the price of an item.

Example 3

Copy Code

                    
# Python program to indicate toy price using if…elif…else
toy_price = 380

if toy_price > 500:
     print('Toy price is Greater than Rs 500')
elif toy_price < 500:
     print('Toy price is Less than Rs 500')
else:
     print('Toy price is Rs 500')

Output
