IF Short hands
Python allows writing conditional statements concisely using shorthand syntax.
Shorthand for if, elif, and else Statements in Python
Here’s how:
1. Single-Line if Statement
- Syntax:
value = 10
if value > 5: print("Greater than 5")- Explanation: The statement executes if the condition is True.
2. Single-Line if-else Statement (Ternary Operator)
- Syntax:
result = "Even" if value % 2 == 0 else "Odd"- Explanation: This evaluates the condition, and assigns a value based on the result.
3. Shorthand if-elif-else
- Example:
value = 10
print("Positive") if value > 0 else print("Zero") if value == 0 else print("Negative")- Explanation: Multiple conditions are evaluated in a single line.
These shorthands are useful for concise code, especially when the logic is simple.
