[Solved] Python second “if statement” negates first one

by


You have two independent if statements. That the second such statement has an else suite doesn’t matter here; that else suite is picked on the basis of the condition attached to the second if test; whatever happened in the first if statement doesn’t matter.

If you want the two x tests to not be independent, use one if statement and use an elif suite for the second test:

if x == 3:
    test="True"
elif x == 5:
    test="False"
else:
    test="Inconclusive"

The elif here is part of the single if statement, and now only one of the three blocks is executed.
