WHAT IS ELIF

 

What the elif is this?


  • The elif command (which stands for 'elseif') allows you to ask 2, 3, 4 or 142 questions using the same input! This command must be in a certain place. You can have as many elif statements as you want, but they must go in between if and else and have the same indentation. The print statements in your elif command need to line up with the indent of the other print statements.

EXAMPLE : 

print("SECURE LOGIN")
username = input("Username > ")
password = input("Password> ")

if username == "mark" and password == "password":
 print("Welcome Mark!")

elif username == "suzanne":
 print("Hey there Suzanne!")

else:
 print("Go away!")

FOR LOOP , RANGE

  FOR LOOP  A  while  loop is perfect to use when we  don't  know how many times we want the loop to repeat.  If we have an idea of how many times we want the loop to repeat, we can use a  for  loop to loop code in exactly the same way the  while  loop did.  EXAMPLE :  for counter in range(10):   print(counter) RANGE  The  range  function creates a list of numbers in the range you create. If you only give it one number, it will start at  0  and move to a state where the final number is  one less  than the number in the brackets. In this case, the final number would be  9 .  EXAMPLE :  total = 0 for number in range(100) :   total += number   print(total)

CONTINUE COMMAND AND EXIT LINE

  The Continue Command  The  continue  command stops executing code in the loop and starts at the top of the loop again. Essentially, we want to kick the user back to the original question. EXAMPLE : while True:   print("You are in a corridor, do you go left or right?")   direction = input("> ")   if direction == "left":     print("You have fallen to your death")     break   elif direction == "right":     continue   else:     print("Ahh! You're a genius, you've won") NOTE :  The  else  statement refers to any input besides left or right (up or esc). Since the user is a winner, we do  not  want to use  break  or it would say they have failed.  EXIT  COMMAND LINE  The previous code continues to loop even after the user has won. Let's fix that with the  exit()  command EXAMPLE: print("Let's play chutes and ladders. Pick ladder or chute.") while...

IF AND ELSE STATEMENT

  If Statements    These statements are a bit like asking a question. You are telling the computer:  if  something is true,  then  do this specific block of code. Double equals ( == ) is asking the computer to compare if these two things are  exactly  the same.  EXAMPLE :  myName = input("What's your name?: ") if myName == "David":  What is else? IF  the condition is  not  met with the  if  statement, then we want the computer to do the  else  part instead. Likewise, if the condition  is  met in the  if  statement, then the  else  bit is ignored by the computer. The  else  statement must be the first thing  unindented  after the  if  statement and in line with it    EXAMPLE :  myName = input("What's your name?: ") if myName == "David":  print("Welcome Dude!")  print("You're just the baldest dude I've ever seen...
