# Example 1: Simple condition
temperature = 30
if temperature > 25:
    print("It's a hot day!")

print('=' * 40)

# Example 2: if-elif-else structure
score = 72

if score >= 90:
    print("Grade: A")
elif score >= 80:
    print("Grade: B")
elif score >= 70:
    print("Grade: C")
else:
    print("Grade: D or below")

print('=' * 40)

# Example 3: Combining conditions with logical operators
age = 18
has_id = True

if age >= 18 and has_id:
    print("Access granted.")
else:
    print("Access denied.")

# Conditional Statements (if, elif, else)

Sometimes your program needs to make decisions, just like you do in real life:

- If your score is above 90, you get an A.  
- If it's above 80, you get a B.  
- Otherwise, you try harder next time.

This is the essence of conditional logic.

## How Python Makes Decisions

Python uses the keywords `if`, `elif`, and `else` to control which parts of your code run.

Here's a simple example:

```python title="Conditional Statements"
score = 85

if score >= 90:
    print("Grade: A")
elif score >= 80:
    print("Grade: B")
else:
    print("Grade: C or below")
```

### What's Happening Here?

* Python checks the first condition: `score >= 90`. It is `false`, so that block is skipped.
* Then it checks the next condition: `score >= 80`. It is `true`, so it prints `Grade: B`.
* Once a condition is met, Python does not check the others.
* If none are true, the `else` block runs.

<br/>

## Key Ideas to Remember

* Conditions are checked **from top to bottom**.
* Indentation shows which lines belong to each block.
* You can use multiple `elif` statements, but only one `if` and one `else`.

`elif` in Python means 'else if'. It is used after an `if` statement when you need to check an additional condition before moving to `else`.
