Question 2:What is the purpose of the `if` statement in Python?

Expected Answer:The `if` statement is used to make decisions in your code. It runs a block of code
only if a condition is true.

if x > 5:
print("x is greater than 5")

Candidates Answer:The if statement is used to make decisions in your code. It runs a block of code
only if a condition is true. For example X equal to 10 and if X greater than 5 print X is greater than
