This simple code example illustrates the use of an if-else
statement. It simply checks whether a given number is greater than or less than 5.
a = 10
if a > 5:
print("a is greater than 5")
else:
print("a is smaller than 5")
a is greater than 5
The code checks if the value of a
is greater than 5. If it is, it prints “a is greater than 5”. If not, it prints “a is smaller than 5”. In this case, a
is 10, so the code will print “a is greater than 5”.
