Python if‑elif‑else True or False Questions – Practice for Beginners

Test your understanding of Python if‑elif‑else conditional statements with beginner-friendly true or false questions. Practice decision-making logic with simple and clear examples.

🔍 True or False

🟢 Beginner

  1. In Python, the 'elif' keyword is short for "else if".
    2. Answer

    ✅ True – 'elif' is indeed Python's shorthand for "else if" and serves the same purpose as in other languages.

  2. An 'if' statement must always be followed by an 'else' block.
    3. Answer

    ❌ False – 'else' blocks are optional in Python. An 'if' statement can stand alone or be paired with only 'elif' blocks.

  3. You can have multiple 'elif' blocks in a single 'if' statement.
    4. Answer

    ✅ True – Python allows any number of 'elif' blocks to handle multiple conditions after an initial 'if'.

🟡 Intermediate

  1. In Python, 'else if' is the correct syntax for adding additional conditions after an 'if' statement.
    2. Answer

    ❌ False – Python uses 'elif' for additional conditions, not 'else if'. Using 'else if' would result in a syntax error.

  2. The code in an 'else' block will execute only if all previous 'if' and 'elif' conditions were false.
    3. Answer

    ✅ True – The 'else' block serves as the default case that runs when no other conditions in the 'if-elif' chain were met.

  3. In Python, 'if' statements can be nested inside other 'if' statements.
    4. Answer

    ✅ True – Python allows nesting of 'if' statements, where one 'if' statement can be placed inside another's block.

🔴 Advanced

  1. The 'elif' and 'else' blocks must be indented at the same level as their corresponding 'if' statement.
    2. Answer

    ❌ False – 'elif' and 'else' blocks must be indented to match the 'if' they belong to, not the initial 'if' statement in nested cases.

  2. In Python, 'if' statements can be written on a single line without using colons.
    3. Answer

    ❌ False – While Python supports single-line 'if' statements (using the ternary operator for simple cases), colons are always required after the condition.
