#if elif conditional statements

if 1 < 2:
print ("1 is less than 2")

print ("2 is less than 3")

Well appreciated

Answer 3

KwaByte What the 'def' keyword actually does is to create a new function object in the heap and store its reference in the variable specified after it. When the byte-code compiler finds a pair of parentheses just before a function reference, the code is transformed in such a way that the function object in the heap is called. I hope that this helps.
