REGARDING THE IF STATEMENT

Question

In one of the questions,
num = 7
If num > 3:
print ("3")
If num < 5:
print ("5")
if num == 7:
print ("7")

The output is 3

Now my question is that why was it 3 that was printed as the output and not 7 since they both meet the conditions. Is it because 3 is the first condition?

Answer 1

You are using nested if conditions. Your if num==7 : never met because it's already confirms that num<5 then how num==7 comes true..

Check this code and you may need to learn about identation in python.

num = 7
If num > 3:
print ("3")
If num < 5:
print ("5")
if num == 7:
print ("7")

Answer 2

Look at the indentation: The if-statements are neseted.
It would only print 7 if num was smaller than 5 and equal to 7 which can never be true

Answer 3

Oh I think I get it better. Thank You very much Lisa and Jayakrishna🇮🇳
Urrm....please what do you mean by "Nested"?

Answer 4

By "nested if-statement" I mean "one if-statement inside another if-statement"
