I need else in python?
I can do this:

if x == 10:
...
elif x == 5:
...
endif

?

Certainly. But you don't need the "endif" at the end:

if x == 10:
    print("x is 10")
elif x == 5:
    print("x is 5")

Is perfectly valid syntax. You can stack as many elifs as you want without including an else. Think of "else" as a default value when no other statement holds. If you leave it out, the program is not always guaranteed to execute a statement.

Hope that helps

Please stop asking the same question on multiple sites. That just leads to duplicated answers and wasted effort on the answerers' part.
