The pass statement basically does nothing. It is used when syntactically a statement is needed, but the program, function or loop should do nothing.
number = 17
if (number < 100):
pass
else:
print("Value is greater than or equal to 100")
The code defines a variable number
with the value of 17. It then uses an if
statement to check if the value of number
is less than 100. If it is, the pass
statement is executed which does nothing and moves on to the next line. If the value of number
is not less than 100, the else
clause is executed, printing the message “Value is greater than or equal to 100”.
