In real life, you constantly make decisions:
- “If it’s raining, take an umbrella.”
- “If I have enough money, buy a ticket; otherwise, stay home.”
Programming is similar. Conditions let your program make choices and follow different paths based on data or user input.
In Python, decisions are made using:
- Comparison operators (to compare values)
- Logical operators (to combine conditions)
if,elif,else(to choose what code runs)- Nested conditions (conditions inside other conditions)
This chapter is all about teaching your code to “think” in simple ways.
