PART 1 - Using IF Statements
if True:
print('This print is apart of the if statement')
</source>What happened? It is important to note a couple of things with the IF statement:<ul><li>When the condition in an IF statement '''IF statement is evaluates to True''', it runs the code that is indented underneath it. In this case, we can use the boolean value "True" to make this happen, or test to see if a condition determined true or false.</li><li>Indentation means to start a line with spaces or tabs before your text. Using '''indentation''' will direct the script what code will run as part of the IF statement and which code will run as part of the main program. Also, using indentation makes it easier for a programmer to identify Control Flow statements. From this point on, be VERY careful and consistent in the indentation that you make with LOGIC statements. </li></ul><br>However, if the LOGIC statement is If condition evaluates to '''False''', then it will not run the code indented underneath it. Any code not indented under the if statement will perform normally as the main program and is NOT associated with control flow statement.<brblockquote style="margin-left:35px;">{{Admon/important|style="padding-left:25px"|4 spaces|While python allows some flexibility with your indentation - please don't be creative with it. Always use 4 spaces for each new block. There will be exceptions later on, but start with this now. You may find it helpful to configure your editor to insert for spaces instead of a tab when you press the tab key.}}<br/blockquote
