Only Truly Pythonista Knows How to Write if-else WHITOUT if-else keywords in 7 different ways

Okay, you say you love Python, but do you know how to write if-else without the if-else keywords in different ways?

Here is a funny challenge. If you know all of the following code, I will call you a true Pythonista.

Basic way: if else

The most basic way to write if-else is using if-else directly:

import random

age = random.randint(1, 30)
message = ''

if age > 18:
    message = f'{age} is adult'
else:
    message = f'{age} is minor'

print(message)

Every programmer knows this code.

Pythonic code

But in Python, we prefer the Pythonic code style. Here is an improvement:

import random

age = random.randint(1, 30)
message = f'{age} is adult' if age > 18 else f'{age} is minor'

print(message)

More concise and more readable. It’s fine.

Now the true challenge comes: Are there any other ways to write if-else?

Short Circuit

import random

age = random.randint(1, 30)
message = age > 18 and f'{age} is adult' or f'{age} is minor'

print(message)
