pass statement in python

"pass" is a type of null operation or null statement, when it executes nothing happens. It is used when you want do not want to write any code/statement to execute but syntactically a statement is required.

Let’s consider the given example...

Here, we are using "pass" statement in the function hello() definition - there is no statement in the function and if we do not use "pass", there will be an error.

def hello():
    pass

hello()

Example 2:

for i in range(1,11):
    if(i==6):
        continue
    else:
        pass
    print(i)
