short alternative of if elif else in python code example

Example 1: if statement in python

answer = input(":")
if answer == "lol":
  print("haha")
else:
  print("not haha")
  exit()

please note that the exit() command is optional and is not necessary.

Example 2: conditional block python

a = 1
b = 2
if a < b:
  print("a is less than b") #This will run since 1 is less than 2
elif a > b:
  print("a is greater than b")
else:
  print("a is equal to b")
