if else Statement in python

An if statement can be followed by an optional else statement, which executes when the Condition is false.

The if...else statement takes care of true as well as false conditions. It has two blocks. One block is for if and it is executed when the condition is true. The other block is of else and it is executed when the condition is false.

The else statement cannot be used without if. No multiple else statements are allowed with one if.

Syntax

if expression:
   statement(s)
else:
   statement(s)
