python - Is it possible to write single line return statement with if statement?

Question

Is is possible to return from a method in single line in python

Looking for something like this

return None if x is None

Tried above, and it is invalid syntax

I could easily do:

if x is None:
    return None

But just curious if I can combine above if statement into a single line

Answer 1

Yes, it's called a conditional expression:

return None if x is None else something_else

You need an else something in a conditional for it to work.
