 Conditional Expressions
=========================

This page contains a memo on conditional expressions.

The syntax of a If statement is:

.. code-block:: py3

    if something_is_true:
        # do something
        pass
    else:
        # do something else
        pass

Conditional expressions provides a shorter syntax:

.. code-block:: py3

    result = 'foo' if something_is_true else 'bar'
