x = 41
if x > 10:
    print("Above ten,")
    if x > 20:
        print("and also above 20!")
    else:
        print("but not above 20.")

The Pass Statement

If an if statement cannot be empty, but you want to write an if statement with no content, use the pass statement to avoid getting an error.

Example:

python
4 lines

a = 33
b = 200
if b > a:
    pass  # This will not produce an error
