Python Pass statement

In Python, pass keyword is used to execute nothing; it means, when we don't want to execute code, the pass can be used to execute empty. It is same as the name refers to. It just makes the control to pass by without executing any code. If we want to bypass any code pass statement can be used.

Python pass Example :

number = 0

for number in range(10):
   number = number + 1
   if number == 5:
      pass   # pass here
   print('Number is ' + str(number))
print('Out of loop')

output of above example  :

Number is 1
Number is 2
Number is 3
Number is 4
Number is 5
Number is 6
Number is 7
Number is 8
Number is 9
Number is 10
Out of loop
    

By using the pass statement in this program, we notice that the program runs exactly as it would if there were no conditional statement in the program. The pass statement tells the program to disregard that condition and continue to run the program as usual.
