Hi all, A simple and silly if-else question. I saw some code that has the following structure. My question is why else is used there though removing else has the same result. More important, is it not syntactically wrong :-(for i in xrange(8): if i < 4: print i else: print i Cheers, dksr
See http://docs.python.org/reference/compound_stmts.html#the-for-statement for an explanation of the "for" statement, and the meaning of it's "else" suite.
In this particular instance, the "else" adds nothing, but there are instances where it does provide a useful functionality.
