python operator

 Python provides an if statement with the same semantics as languages like

C++ and Java, although with its own sparse syntax:

if expression1:

suite1

elif expression2:

suite2

else:

suite3

The first thing that stands out to programmers used to C++ or Java is that

there are no parentheses and no braces. The other thing to notice is the

colon: This is part of the syntax and is easy to forget when starting out. Colons

are used with else, elif, and in many other places to indicate that a block of

code (a suite in Python-speak) is to follow. As we would expect, there can be any

number.
