BIT BY BYTE
Selection — making decisions1 / 9

if / elif / else

Selection means the program chooses which code to run based on a condition. Python uses `if`, `elif` (else if), and `else`:

```python

score = 72

if score >= 80:

print("Distinction")

elif score >= 60:

print("Merit")

elif score >= 40:

print("Pass")

else:

print("Fail")

```

Python uses **indentation** (4 spaces) to show which lines belong to a block — not curly braces.
