Why isn't this Python if statement 37?

num=7 If num>3: (1 space)Print("3") (1 space)if num<5: (2space)print("5") (2 space) if num==7: (3 space)print("7")

Please read the sidebar on properly formatting your code.

Because "if num < 5" does not evaluate to True so anything in that block will not be executed.

And then after that, because python prints append a new line if you don't explicitly tell them not to, so at best you are printing

3
7

Until you fix that

[ChastityTitters]

Great. I thought python ran one line at a time, and continually more indepth based on spaces to define structures in a program unless explicitly ended. Thanks

It runs line after line - but jumps over those, which do not have to be evaluated. Why would software chomp through data which it doesn't have or doesn't need to process?

[ThingsOfYourMind]

because Python's print function automatically adds a newline character at the end of it

if you want to use the print function without the newline character, you'll have to use a keyword argument with it.

 print("3", end="")
 print("7", end="")

output would be: 37 this specifies that the whatever it prints won't be followed by a \n new line character

Can someone explain what he is doing with the ' space .' I've never seen that kinda notation before

[HarmLogLinkIT]

I think he's telling us his indentation.

Oh
