How do if statements work in Python?

If statements in Python allow you to execute certain code based on whether a condition is true or false. For example, you can use it to check if a number is positive.

Can you give me an example of an if statement?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

number = 10
if number > 0:
    print('The number is positive')

What happens if the condition is false?

If the condition is false, the code block under the if statement will not execute. You can use an else statement to define what happens in that case.

Can you show me an example with else?

Absolutely! Here's an example:

number = -5
if number > 0:
    print('The number is positive')
else:
    print('The number is not positive')
