Question

What do we do to a Python statement that is immediately after an if statement to indicate that the statement is to be executed only when the if statement is true?

Answer 1

Answer:

Indent the line below the if statement

Explanation:

In python,

<expr> is an expression evaluated in Boolean context,

<statement> is a valid statement, which must be indented.

If <expr> is true then <statement> is executed. If false, <expr> , the <statement> is skipped over and is not executed.

An example of such statements is:

>>> num_1 = 3

>>> num_2 = 6

>>> if num_1 < num_2:                            

...     print('yes')

This statement is true and will be printed. However, if the statement were to be false, that is :

>>> if  num_1 > num_2:                          

...     print('yes')

This statement is skipped over and will not be executed.
