Study Notes

Introduction to Conditional Logic

Programs often need to adapt. Maybe you want to display a different message based on the time of day, or calculate a discount only if a customer spends over a certain amount. This is where conditional logic comes in.

The fundamental idea is always: "If this is true, then do that."

In Python, the primary tools for conditional logic are if, elif, and else statements.

Complex Control Flow with 'elif' and 'else'

In programming, we often need to execute different blocks of code based on various conditions. You're already familiar with if statements for single conditions. When you have more than two possible paths, elif (short for "else if") and else become incredibly useful for creating sophisticated decision trees.

Logical Operators: 'or' for Alternative Conditions

In programming, you often need to make decisions based on whether any of several possibilities is true. That's where the or operator comes in. It combines two or more boolean expressions (things that evaluate to True or False) and returns True if at least one of them is True. If all of them are False, then the or expression returns False.

Let's look at how it works:

Logical Operators: 'and' for Conjunctions

In programming, a logical operator helps you combine or modify Boolean (True/False) expressions. The and operator is one of the most common, used to create conjunctions.

When you use condition1 and condition2, the entire expression will be True if, and only if, condition1 is True and condition2 is True. If even one of them is False, the entire expression becomes False.

Modulo Operator and Parity

For example:
* 10 % 3 is 1 (10 divided by 3 is 3 with a remainder of 1).
* 14 % 5 is 4 (14 divided by 5 is 2 with a remainder of 4).
* 8 % 2 is 0 (8 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 0).
