Question

I am using Python and I would like to have an if statement with many variables in it.

Such as:

if A, B, C, and D >= 2:
    print (A, B, C, and D)

I realize that this is not the correct syntax and that is exactly the question I am asking — what is the correct Python syntax for this type of an if statement?

Answer 1

You want to test a condition for all the variables:

if all(x >= 2 for x in (A, B, C, D)):
    print(A, B, C, D)

This should be helpful if you’re testing a long list of variables with the same condition.

If you needed to check:

if A, B, C, or D >= 2:

Then you want to test a condition for any of the variables:

if any(x >= 2 for x in (A, B, C, D)):
    print(A, B, C, D)
