Nested Conditional Statements
Nested Conditions
The conditional block inside another if/else conditional block is called as
nested conditional block.
In the below example, Block 2 is nested conditional block and condition B is
called nested conditional statement.
Code
PYTHON
1 matches_won = int(input())
2 goals = int(input())
3 if matches_won > 8:
4 if goals > 20:
5 print("Hurray")
6 print("Winner")
Input
10
22

Nested Condition in Else Block
We can also write nested conditions in Else Statement.
In the below example Block 2 is a nested conditional block.

Code
PYTHON
1 a = 2
2 b = 3
3 c = 1
4 is_a_greatest = (a > b) and (a > c)
5 if is_a_greatest:
6 print(a)
7 else:
8 is_b_greatest = (b > c)
9 if is_b_greatest:
10 print(b)

Elif Statement

Use the elif statement to have multiple conditional statements between if
and else.
The elif statement is optional.
Multiple Elif Statements
We can add any number of
elif statements after if conditional block.

Execution of Elif Statement
Python will execute the elif block whose expression evaluates to true.
If multiple
elif conditions are true, then only the first elif block which is True will be
executed.

Optional Else Statement
Else statement is not compulsory after
if - elif statements.
Code

PYTHON
1 number = 5
2 is_divisible_by_10 = (number % 10 == 0)
3 is_divisible_by_5 = (number % 5 == 0)
4 if is_divisible_by_10:
5 print("Divisible by 10")
6 elif is_divisible_by_5:
7 print("Divisible by 5")
8 else:
9 print("Not Divisible by 10 or 5")
Output
Divisible by 5
Possible Mistake
Cannot write an elif statement after
else statement.
