How to exit an if clause

Question

What sorts of methods exist for prematurely exiting an if clause?

There are times when I\'m writing code and want to put a break statement

Answer 1

The only thing that would apply this without additional methods is elif as the following example

a = ['yearly', 'monthly', 'quartly', 'semiannual', 'monthly', 'quartly', 'semiannual', 'yearly']
# start the condition
if 'monthly' in b: 
    print('monthly') 
elif 'quartly' in b: 
    print('quartly') 
elif 'semiannual' in b: 
    print('semiannual') 
elif 'yearly' in b: 
    print('yearly') 
else: 
    print('final')
