Conditional Statements in Python

Introduction to if-elif-else StatementIntroduction to if-elif-else Statement

Let's begin by examining an example that will aid in a better understanding of the if-elif-else statement.

Here is an example where we check the age for several conditions.

Example 1:

If you need to execute one command from several options based on a condition, you can utilize the elif construct.

You can also include an else statement at the end, which will be executed if none of the preceding conditions are satisfied.

Let's consider the following illustration:

Example

So let's rewrite the example above with the new elif statement.

Example 2:

Clearly, the new operator works smoothly as intended.

Task

Now you can write the program which can determine the shape of the figure on the number of angles. Use the if-elif-else construction to solve this task.

We have the following classification:

  • 0 angles -> Circle or ellipse;
  • 3 angles -> Triangle;
  • 4 angles -> Square, rectangle, or rhombus;
  • more than 4 angles -> Polygon;
  • in other cases -> It is not a geometric figure.

Please, fill in the gaps.

Everything was clear?
