Conditionals

What is Conditionals?
Conditionals execute different code paths based on whether a condition is true. Python uses if, elif, and else for this. Python 3.10 introduced match/case, a structural pattern matching statement that cleanly handles multiple specific value checks as an alternative to long elif chains. They appear in custom functions applied to DataFrames, in filtering logic, and in branching pipeline code.
