Python nested IF statements
There may be a situation when you want to check for another condition after a condition resolves to true. In such a situation, you can use the nested if construct.
In a nested if construct, you can have an if...elif...else construct inside another if...elif...else construct.
Syntax
The syntax of the nested if...elif...else construct may be −
if expression1: statement(s) if expression2: statement(s) elif expression3: statement(s) elif expression4: statement(s) else: statement(s) else: statement(s)
Example
#!/usr/bin/python var = 100 if var < 200: print "Expression value is less than 200" if var == 150: print "Which is 150" elif var == 100: print "Which is 100" elif var == 50: print "Which is 50" elif var < 50: print "Expression value is less than 50" else: print "Could not find true expression" print "Good bye!"
When the above code is executed, it produces following result −
Expression value is less than 200 Which is 100 Good bye!
