The if - else statement allows your program to "branch", that is to execute different instructions according to whether a certain condition is True or False.

I then introduce the if-else statement with a practical example related to Boyle's law (the one that goes "a watched kettle never Boyles" ;) For more information and to try out the code, click on the link above - a notebook will open in your browser, no need to install Python on your machine.
