Evaluate 2 if statements and a else condition-CodePudding

I have outer and inner if statements and one else condition. Can I evaluate the two ifs without rewriting the exact same else?

a = 1

if a == 1:
     b = a * 5
    if b < 3:
        print(b)
else:
    print(a)

Basically, I'd like to evaluate the else if the inner if condition is not met.

Updated answer after clarification of the question.

You can just delay taking the action until after the if/else:

a = 1

to_print = a
if a == 1:
    b = a * 5
    if b < 3:
        to_print = b

print(to_print)

CodePudding user response：

a = 1
b = 2

if a == 1:
    print(a)

else if b == 1:
    print(b)

else:
    print(c)

Maybe you are looking for this?

Indent it the same amount as that if statement:

if a == 1:
    if b == 1:
        print(b)
    else:
        print(a)
else: 
    print(b)

Update from comments:

if a == 1 and b != 1: 
    print(a)
else:
    print(b)

CodePudding user response：

Yes you have to use AND OPERATOR (&&), Because the inner condition get control only if a == 1 and inner if returns response only if b == 1 So, we have to make them one using AND Operator

a=1
b=2
if a==1 and b == 1 :
   print(b)
else:
   print(a)
