Introduction to Conditional Statements

Conditional statements allow your program to make decisions based on conditions. This is a fundamental concept in programming.

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to write conditional statements in Python using if, elif, and else.

What are Conditional Statements?

Conditional statements let the program execute certain parts of code only when specific conditions are met. For example:

Here, the program checks if the temperature is greater than 30. If true, it prints "It's hot outside!".

# Conditional statement example
temperature = 35
if temperature > 30:
    print("It's hot outside!")
