Exercise 1 - Using Compound Conditions

As the name suggests, compound statements contain other statements within them, the execution of which is affected or controlled by the main statement.

For example, given below is the syntax of if compound statement:

if expression:

suite 1

elif expression:

suite 2

else:

suite 3

As you can see in the above example, compound statements consist of one or more clauses. The clause headers of a particular compound statement are all at the same indentation level; for example, if…elif…else. The elif header can be repeated multiple times. Depending on the condition that becomes true, a suite will be processed. Each suite can further contain nested compound statements.

The types of compound statements can be formed using the while, for, try, and with statements.

Functions and class definitions are also the examples of compound statements.

In this exercise, you will learn to write a program using the if compound statement.
