More than two choices

Handle several cases with if, elif, and else.

Check conditions in order

elif means another condition is checked if the earlier one was false. Python runs the first matching block, then skips the rest of the chain.

score = 75
if score >= 80:
    print("Excellent")
elif score >= 50:
    print("Pass")
else:
    print("Try again")

Output

Pass

Put the narrower case first

Order matters when conditions overlap. Check the highest threshold first here, so a high score does not get the lower label.

score = 92
if score >= 80:
    print("Excellent")
elif score >= 50:
    print("Pass")

Output

Excellent

More than two choices

  1. Follow the conditions in their written order.
  2. Test a value exactly on a threshold.

Label a score

Keep score as 82. Set label to High for scores of at least 80, Pass for at least 50, and Retry otherwise. Display label.
