Q on syntax - ebolisa - Apr-05-2020
Hi,
The following 2 codes yield the same results.
What's the difference between them? If the first one is the traditional way of coding, what's the second? I'm puzzled.
TIA
a=1 if(a==1): p=8 else: p=9 print(p)
a = 1 print(8 if(a==1) else 9)

HI THERE
In the first example you have assigned number 1 to letter a, in the condition it is truly equal to 1 and will print 8. change the value of a to another number then it will jump to else condition.
In the second Example:
it is the same value but it will not print else condition, since you didn't have used print.

@nadim313
actualy it does print if you change the variable a. That's why I said that both codes yeld the same results.
try this...
a = 1 print(8 if(a==1) else 9) #prints 8 a = 2 print(8 if(a==1) else 9) #prints 9

The crux of it is the first is a statement and the second an expression.
