Python IF Statement
It is similar to that of other languages. The if statement contains a logical expression using which data is compared and a decision is made based on the result of the comparison.
Syntax
if expression: statement(s)
If the boolean expression evaluates to TRUE, then the block of statement(s) inside the if statement is executed. If boolean expression evaluates to FALSE, then the first set of code after the end of the if statement(s) is executed.
