Using multiple elifs in if statements #

You can use multiple elif statements in an if block to specify more than two possible conditions to be checked. The first elif statement whose condition is True executes its block of code, and the rest of the elif statements are skipped.

Here's an example:

def get_age_description(age):
    if age < 18:
        return "You are not yet an adult."
    elif age >= 18 and age < 21:
        return "You are an adult, but you cannot drink."
    elif age >= 21 and age < 65:
        return "You are an adult and can drink."
    elif age >= 65:
        return "You are a senior citizen."

print(get_age_description(25)) # Output: You are an adult and can drink.

In this example, we use multiple elif statements to check if someone is an adult, if they can drink alcohol, or if they are a senior citizen.

Exercise #

  • Use an if-ellf-else statement so that the function get_grade() returns the correct value:
    • If score is greather than or equal to 90, returns "A".
    • If score is greather than or equal to 80, returns "B".
    • If score is greather than or equal to 70, returns "C".
    • If score is greather than or equal to 60, returns "D".
    • For any other values of score, returns "F".

Tests #

  • get_grade(90) should returns "A".
  • get_grade(80) should returns "B".
  • get_grade(70) should returns "C".
  • get_grade(60) should returns "D".
  • get_grade(50) should returns "F".
