The if, else, and elif statements control conditional code execution. As one would expect, the format of the conditional statement is as follows:
if expression: do somethingelif expression: do something if the expression meetselif expression: do something if the expression meets...else: statement
Here is a simple example:
>>> a = 10>>> if a > 1:... print("a is larger than 1")... elif a < 1:... print("a is smaller than 1")... else:... print("a is equal to 1")...a is larger than 1>>>
The while loop will continue to execute until the condition is false, so be careful with this one if you don't want to continue to execute (and crash your process):
while expression: do something
>>> a = 10>>> b = 1>>> while b < a:... ...
