In this example a is equal to b, so the first condition is not true, but the elif condition is

true, so we print to screen that “a and b are equal”.

Else Statement

The else keyword catches anything which isn’t caught by the preceding conditions. The
sampe code below shows else statement.

Sample code:
# This program compares two numbers using else statements

a = 33

b = 200 Programming Robots & Single-Board Computers
# if block
if b > a:

print(“b is greater than a”)

# elif block
elif b == a:
print(“a and b are equal”)

# else block

else:
print(“a is greater than b”)

In this example a is greater than b, so the first condition is not true, also the elif
condition is not true, so we go to the else condition and print to screen that “a is

greater than b”. We can also use the else without using elif.

5.8. Conditional and Logical Operators

Conditional operators refine the statement you’re testing for. For instance, you can
specify the statement whether it’s greater than, less than, and a whole lot more.
