Using Conditional Expressions in Python

In Python, sometimes we need to assign different values to a variable based on specific conditions. While this can be done using the standard if-else statement, there's a more compact and elegant way to achieve it—using a ternary operator, also known as a conditional expression. This allows us to write conditional logic in a single line of code.

The syntax for the ternary operator is as follows:

python

This syntax evaluates the condition, and if it's True, it assigns the true_value; otherwise, it assigns the false_value.

Example 1: Standard if-else Statement

Let's say we want to assign a fitness status to a user based on the number of steps they've walked.

123456789
steps_taken = 8500 status = "" if steps_taken >= 10000: status = "Goal Reached" else: status = "Keep Going" print(status)
copy

Example 2: Using Ternary Operator

We can achieve the same result using the ternary operator in just one line:

1234
steps_taken = 8500 status = "Goal Reached" if steps_taken >= 10000 else "Keep Going" print(status)
copy

When to Use:

The ternary operator is most effective when the condition is straightforward, and you're assigning values based on that condition. If the logic is more complex, it's better to stick with the full if-else statement to maintain clarity.

You're building a fitness tracker app that reminds users whether they have met their daily water intake goal. The program should check the user's water intake and provide appropriate feedback.

  • Use the ternary operator to determine the correct message in a single line of code.
  • If the user has consumed 2 liters or more, store the message: "You've met your hydration goal!".
  • Use the true_message variable.
  • If the user has consumed less than 2 liters, store the message: "Drink more water to reach your goal.".
  • Use the false_message variable.
  • Store the message in a variable for later use.
