Decision making statements (if, if-else, etc) are used to control the flow of execution of the program according to the condition.
Example – If the condition is true, the block is executed, and if the condition is false, the block is not executed.
In the Python programming language, all non-zero or zero values are assumed to be TRUE, and if they are zero or zero, then they are assumed to be FALSE.
The Python programming language provides the following types of decision statements. Click on the following links for details.
