Decisions with if & else
An if statement chooses a path when a condition is true. else handles the other path. The colon starts a block; indent the lines inside with four spaces. == compares values, while = assigns them.
हिन्दी में समझें
if शर्त सही होने पर एक रास्ता चुनता है; else दूसरा रास्ता है। कोलन के बाद ब्लॉक में चार स्पेस रखें। == तुलना और = मान रखने के लिए है।
अभ्यास: score को 40 करें और दूसरी निर्णय शाखा चलाएँ।
Hinglish mein samjhein
if condition true hone par ek raasta chunta hai, else doosra. Colon ke baad block mein 4 spaces do. == compare karta hai aur = assign karta hai.
Practice: score 40 karo aur doosri branch run karo.
A small Python example
score = 80
if score >= 60:
print("Great work!")
else:
print("Keep practising!")The browser playground runs real Python with Pyodide. Use sample variables instead of interactive input(). Browser package support differs from desktop Python.
Try this example in the Python playground →Practise this idea
Change score to 40 and run the other decision branch.
Check answer & explanation
score = 40
if score >= 60:
print("Great work!")
else:
print("Keep practising!")40 does not satisfy score >= 60, so execution follows else and prints the encouragement message.
