Output of nested if-else blocks

What is the output of this Python code?

Python

x = 10
if x > 5:
    if x > 8:
        print("A")
    else:
        print("B")
else:
    print("C")

A A

B B

C C

D No output

💡 Hint

Check the conditions step by step from top to bottom.

x is 10, which is greater than 5, so the first if is true. Then inside, x is also greater than 8, so it prints "A".

If-elif-else execution output

What will be printed when this code runs?

Python

num = 0
if num > 0:
    print("Positive")
elif num == 0:
    print("Zero")
else:
    print("Negative")

A Zero

B No output

C Negative

D Positive

💡 Hint

Check which condition matches the value of num.

num is 0, so the elif condition num == 0 is true, printing "Zero".

Output with multiple if statements

What is the output of this code snippet?

Python

a = 3
if a > 2:
    print("X")
if a > 4:
    print("Y")
else:
    print("Z")

A

X
Y

B

X
Z

C Z

D X

💡 Hint

Remember that the else belongs to the second if only.

a is 3, so first if prints "X". Second if a > 4 is false, so else prints "Z".

If statement with logical operators

What will this code print?

Python

x = 7
y = 5
if x > 5 and y < 10:
    print("Yes")
elif x > 5 or y > 10:
    print("Maybe")
else:
    print("No")

A No

B Maybe

C Yes

D SyntaxError

💡 Hint

Check the first condition carefully with both parts.

x is 7 > 5 and y is 5 < 10, so first if condition is true, printing "Yes".

If statement with assignment expression

What is the output of this code?

Python

if (n := 4) > 3:
    print(n * 2)
else:
    print(n / 2)

A 4

B 2.0

C SyntaxError

D 8

💡 Hint

The walrus operator assigns and returns the value in the condition.

n is assigned 4, which is greater than 3, so it prints 4 * 2 = 8.
