 Hi everyone, in this tutorial, we're going to talk about the PASS statement in Python. In Python, sometimes we need to do nothing and when we need to do nothing, it's good to know that we have the PASS statement. Also in Python code blocks needs to have at least one statement and the PASS statement in Python usually serves as a placeholder to ensure that the block has at least one statement. We can use PASS statement if we don't want to write code right away but want to write it later at some point of time. In the next few minutes, I'm gonna show you few examples how you can use PASS keyword. For example, in Python, every function must have a body or code block. Here we're having a function called my function with some code block but if we want to avoid writing this code block, we can just use the PASS statement which takes no action so this means that this function currently do nothing. I'm gonna type this code in Python IDOL or having a function which is not going to do anything so we can use keyword PASS and later at some point of time instead of this statement PASS, we can write inside this function all new code block. So it's the same situation with if else statements. In this case, if x is less or equal than 0, then we're not going to do anything but else if this x is a positive number, then we're going to print that information x is a positive number. I'm gonna type that code again inside Python IDOL. I'm gonna say that x equals to 1 and then I'm gonna just write this code x is a positive number and we get the answer that x is a positive number because x has value 1. Okay, then let's go to the next example. We can use the PASS statement also with FOR loop or WHILE loop instead of providing a code block inside our FOR loop or WHILE loop. We can just use PASS statement which takes no action. I'm gonna type again this example for item in range 10, PASS, so this FOR loop is not going to do anything and also it's the same situation with WHILE loop. I'm gonna make simple example. For example, yx is less than 0, then we're not going to do anything. Also we can use the PASS statement when we're working with classes. If you're making a class and you don't want to provide its own code right now, you can just use the PASS statement. Let's type this code again, class animal. That's all in this example.
