Branching with if-else

Basic if-else Structure Since balance is 150, the condition is True, so the if block runs and the else block is skipped. Exactly one of the two blocks will always execute. The else Block Executes When the condition is False, the else block runs instead: Now balance is 50, so the condition is False. Python skips the if block entirely and executes the else block. The final print still runs because it is outside both blocks. Mutually Exclusive Paths With if-else, exactly one of the two code blocks will always run. They are mutually exclusive: if one runs, the other does not. This is useful when you have exactly two possibilities: Data Validation Example In data engineering, if-else is commonly used for validation and categorization: The single equals sign is reserved for assignment.

About This Interactive Section

This section is part of the Control Flow: Beginner lesson on DataDriven, a free data engineering interview prep platform. Each section includes explanations, worked examples, and hands-on code challenges that execute in real time. SQL queries run against a live PostgreSQL database. Python runs in a sandboxed Docker container. Data modeling problems validate against interactive schema canvases. All content is framed around what data engineering interviewers actually test at companies like Meta, Google, Amazon, Netflix, Stripe, and Databricks.

How DataDriven Lessons Work

DataDriven combines four interview rounds (SQL, Python, Data Modeling, Pipeline Architecture) with adaptive difficulty and spaced repetition. Easy problems get harder as you improve. Weak concepts resurface until you master them. Your readiness score tracks progress across every topic interviewers test. Every lesson section ends with problems you solve by writing and running real code, not by picking multiple-choice answers.
