if/else statements for compact, one-line value selection. It's also known as a conditional expression.
#### π The Standard if/else Block
This is the classic, multi-line way to assign a value based on a condition.
# Check if a user is an adult
age = 20
status = ""
if age >= 18:
status = "Adult"
else:
status = "Minor"
print(status)
# Output: Adult
---
#### β
The Ternary Operator (One-Line if/else)
The same logic can be written in a single, clean line.
Syntax:
value_if_true if condition else value_if_false
Let's rewrite the example above:
age = 20
# Assign 'Adult' if age >= 18, otherwise assign 'Minor'
status = "Adult" if age >= 18 else "Minor"
print(status)
# Output: Adult
---
π‘ More Examples
The ternary operator is an expression, meaning it returns a value and can be used almost anywhere.
1. Inside a Function return
def get_fee(is_member):
# Return 5 if they are a member, otherwise 15
return 5.00 if is_member else 15.00
print(f"Your fee is: ${get_fee(True)}")
# Output: Your fee is: $5.0
print(f"Your fee is: ${get_fee(False)}")
# Output: Your fee is: $15.0
2. Inside an f-string or print()
is_logged_in = False
print(f"User status: {'Online' if is_logged_in else 'Offline'}")
# Output: User status: Offline
3. With List Comprehensions (Advanced)
This is where it becomes incredibly powerful for creating new lists.
numbers = [1, 10, 5, 22, 3, -4]
# Create a new list labeling each number as "even" or "odd"
labels = ["even" if n % 2 == 0 else "odd" for n in numbers]
print(labels)
# Output: ['odd', 'even', 'odd', 'even', 'odd', 'even']
# Create a new list of only positive numbers, or 0 for negatives
sanitized = [n if n > 0 else 0 for n in numbers]
print(sanitized)
# Output: [1, 10, 5, 22, 3, 0]

π§ When to Use It (and When Not To!)
β’ DO use it for simple, clear, and readable assignments. If it reads like a natural sentence, it's a good fit.
β’ DON'T use it for complex logic or nest them. It quickly becomes unreadable.
β BAD EXAMPLE (Avoid This!):
# This is very hard to read!
x = 10
message = "High" if x > 50 else ("Medium" if x > 5 else "Low")
β
BETTER (Use a standard if/elif/else for clarity):
x = 10
if x > 50:
message = "High"
elif x > 5:
message = "Medium"
else:
message = "Low"

data = [1, 2, 3]
logs = []
# dangerous antipattern
process = lambda x: logs.append(f"processed {x}") or (x * 10)
result = [process(n) for n in data]
print("RESULT:", result)
print("LOGS:", logs)

items = ["a", "b", "c"]
for item in items[::-1]:
print(item)
# More readable π
for item in reversed(items):
print(item)

π. Use continue to Skip the Rest of an Iteration
The continue keyword ends the current iteration and moves to the next one. It's great for skipping items that don't meet a condition, reducing nested if statements.
# Using 'if'
for i in range(10):
if i % 2 == 0:
print(i, "is even")
# Using 'continue' can be cleaner
for i in range(10):
if i % 2 != 0:
continue # Skip odd numbers
print(i, "is even")

1οΈβ£. Use enumerate() for Index and Value
Instead of using range(len(sequence)) to get an index, enumerate gives you both the index and the item elegantly.
# Less Pythonic π
items = ["a", "b", "c"]
for i in range(len(items)):
print(i, items[i])
# More Pythonic π
for i, item in enumerate(items):
print(i, item)
---
2οΈβ£. Use zip() to Iterate Over Multiple Lists
To loop through two or more lists at the same time, zip() is the perfect tool. It stops when the shortest list runs out.
names = ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"]
ages = [25, 30, 35]
for name, age in zip(names, ages):
print(f"{name} is {age} years old.")
---
3οΈβ£. Iterate Directly Over Dictionaries with .items()
To get both the key and value from a dictionary, use the .items() method. It's much cleaner than accessing the key and then looking up the value.
# Less Pythonic π
config = {"host": "localhost", "port": 8080}
for key in config:
print(key, "->", config[key])
# More Pythonic π
for key, value in config.items():
print(key, "->", value)
---
4οΈβ£. Use List Comprehensions for Simple Loops
If your for loop just creates a new list, a list comprehension is almost always a better choice. It's more concise and often faster.
# Standard for loop
squares = []
for i in range(5):
squares.append(i * i)
# squares -> [0, 1, 4, 9, 16]
# List comprehension π
squares_comp = [i * i for i in range(5)]
# squares_comp -> [0, 1, 4, 9, 16]
---
5οΈβ£. Use the _ Underscore for Unused Variables
If you need to loop a certain number of times but don't care about the loop variable, use _ as a placeholder by convention.
# I don't need 'i', I just want to repeat 3 times
for _ in range(3):
print("Hello!")
---
6οΈβ£. Unpack Tuples Directly in the Loop
If you're iterating over a list of tuples or lists, you can unpack the values directly into named variables for better readability.
points = [(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6)]
# Unpacking directly into x and y
for x, y in points:
print(f"x: {x}, y: {y}")
---
7οΈβ£. Use break and a for-else Block
A for loop can have an else block that runs only if the loop completes without hitting a break. This is perfect for search operations.
numbers = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
for num in numbers:
if num % 2 == 0:
print("Even number found!")
break
else: # This runs only if the 'break' was never hit
print("No even numbers in the list.")
---
8οΈβ£. Iterate Over a Copy to Safely Modify
Never modify a list while you are iterating over it directly. This can lead to skipped items. Instead, iterate over a copy.
# This will not work correctly! π
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 2, 4]
for num in numbers:
if num == 2:
numbers.remove(num) # Skips the second '2'
# Correct way: iterate over a slice copy [:] π
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 2, 4]
for num in numbers[:]:
if num == 2:
numbers.remove(num)
print(numbers) # [1, 3, 4]
---
9οΈβ£. Use reversed() for Reverse Iteration
To loop over a sequence in reverse, use the built-in reversed() function. It's more readable and efficient than creating a reversed slice.# hidden error β removing items while iterating skips elements
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 2, 4, 2, 5]
for num in numbers:
if num == 2:
numbers.remove(num) # seems like it should remove all 2s
# a '2' was skipped and remains in the list!
print(numbers) # [1, 3, 4, 2, 5]
# β
correct version β iterate over a copy
numbers_fixed = [1, 2, 3, 2, 4, 2, 5]
# The [:] makes a crucial copy!
for num in numbers_fixed[:]:
if num == 2:
numbers_fixed.remove(num)
print(numbers_fixed) # [1, 3, 4, 5]
# A more Pythonic way is to use a list comprehension:
# [n for n in numbers if n != 2]
