python if else statements

Python uses colon after the if else keyword and indentation instead of curly brackets for code in the if else block.

#! /usr/bin/env python

a=5 #Declares an integer, and assigns a value.

if(a>10):
    print "This will never gets printed."
else:
    print "a=5"
    print "5 is not greater than 10."


if(a>5):
    print "This will never gets printed."
elif(a<6):
    print "This will never gets printed."
else:
    print "Correct"
    print "a is equal to 5."

Output:

a=5, 5 is not greater than 10.
Correct, a is equal to 5.
