Conditional/Selection/Branching statements

if Statement(simplest one)

# Find absolute value of a number without using abs() function

x=eval(input("Enter a number : "))
if x<0:
x=-x
print(x)

 Decisions Making
Input a number and determine whether it is even or odd as well as whether it is positive
or negative, i.e., output should be like Even and Negative,…
x=eval(input("Enter a number : "))
if x%2 == 0:
print("Even & ")
else:
print("Odd & ")
if x >= 0:
print("Positive")
else:
print("Negative")

Can you write the output of the above

 Decisions Making
if. . .elif (if/elif chain or if-elif-else ladder)statement

There is no switch or case statement in Python. Python lacks a switch statement (if
you haven’t, there is no need to worry about it with Python). Developers
commonly use the switch statement in other languages to create menu-based
applications.
The if...elif statement is generally used for the same purpose in Python.
However, the if...elif statement doesn’t provide quite the same functionality as a
switch statement because it doesn’t enforce the use of a single variable for
comparison purposes. As a result, some developers rely on Python’s dictionary
functionality to stand in for the switch statement.

For x=10, what will be the output of the following code snippet?
x=int(input("Enter value of x : "))
if x < 0:
print('x is negative')
elif x % 2:

Write a Python program that ask user to provide two numbers (both in between 1-
10), based on the validity of your input numbers, your program either output the
secret number(multiplication of your two input number) or it will display an error
message telling that whether the first number is incorrect or the second number is
incorrect or both the first and the second number are incorrect.
One = int(input("Type a number between 1 and 10: "))
Two = int(input("Type a number between 1 and 10: "))
if (One >= 1) and (One <= 10):
if (Two >= 1) and (Two <= 10):
print("Your secret number is: ", One * Two)
else:
print("Incorrect second value!")
elif (Two >= 1) and (Two <= 10):
print("Incorrect first value!")
else:
