Else statements formatting

Question

num=7
if num == 5
print ("number is 5")
else:
if num == 11:
print ("number is 11")
else:
if num == 7:
print ("number is 7")
else:
print ("number isn't 5, 11 or 7")

"""
My question is about formatting,
since Python can run 100s of else statements
do I reall have to make this spaces?
How should that be formatted if else statement gets to the end of the line?
"""

Answer 1

num = 1189 # num is equal to 1189
for i in range(1200): #loop counts to 1200
if i == num: # if the variable named i is equal to the variable named num
print("number is", i) # print the number
break # stop the loop

"""
you do not have to write 1000 lines of code if you use a loop

Answer 2

Yes you give spaces because without spaces (indentation) gives a indentation error.

Answer 3

what happens when else statement gets to the end of the line?

Answer 4

Use a decent code editor, not a regular text editor. A good code editor is smart enough to help you with code indentation (the padding spaces).

"Do I really have to make this spaces?"
Python is strict with indentation, bad indentation means code won't run, so yes.

Answer 5

You can use elif for more readable code.

Answer 6

Nikolai, didn't elif stop after 1st true?

Answer 7

Nematiillo, question isn't about loops, it's about formatting :D

But, I get it.

Answer 8

print ("number isn't "
"5, 11 or 7"
"6 and 12")

Answer 9

The elif statement is equivalent to an else/if statement. It is used to make the code shorter, more readable, and avoid indentation increase.
