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.
[code language=”python”]
#! /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."
[/code]

Output:
[code language=”text”]
a=5, 5 is not greater than 10.
Correct, a is equal to 5.
[/code]
