[Tutor] if statement issue

[shubham sinha]

question:
The City class has the following attributes: name, country (where the city
is located), elevation (measured in meters), and population (approximate,
according to recent statistics). Fill in the blanks of the
max_elevation_city function to return the name of the city and its country
(separated by a comma), when comparing the 3 defined instances for a
specified minimal population. For example, calling the function for a
minimum population of 1 million: max_elevation_city(1000000) should return
"Sofia, Bulgaria".


code for given question:

# define a basic city class
class City:
name = ""
country = ""
elevation = 0
population = 0

# create a new instance of the City class and
# define each attribute
city1 = City()
city1.name = "Cusco"
city1.country = "Peru"
city1.elevation = 3399
city1.population = 358052

# create a new instance of the City class and
# define each attribute
city2 = City()
city2.name = "Sofia"
city2.country = "Bulgaria"
city2.elevation = 2290
city2.population = 1241675

# create a new instance of the City class and
# define each attribute
city3 = City()
city3.name = "Seoul"
city3.country = "South Korea"
city3.elevation = 38
city3.population = 9733509

def max_elevation_city(min_population):
# Initialize the variable that will hold
# the information of the city with
# the highest elevation
return_city = City()

# Evaluate the 1st instance to meet the requirements:
# does city #1 have at least min_population and
# is its elevation the highest evaluated so far?
if city1.population >= min_population and city1.elevation >
return_city.elevation:
return_city = city1
# Evaluate the 2nd instance to meet the requirements:
# does city #2 have at least min_population and
# is its elevation the highest evaluated so far?
if city2.population >= min_population and city2.elevation >
return_city.elevation:
return_city = city2
# Evaluate the 3rd instance to meet the requirements:
# does city #3 have at least min_population and
# is its elevation the highest evaluated so far?
if city3.population >= min_population and city3.elevation >
return_city.elevation:
return_city = city3

#Format the return string
if return_city.name:
return ("{}, {}".format(return_city.name, return_city.country))
else:
return ""

print(max_elevation_city(100000)) # Should print "Cusco, Peru"
print(max_elevation_city(1000000)) # Should print "Sofia, Bulgaria"
print(max_elevation_city(10000000)) # Should print ""

output for this code:

Cusco, Peru
Sofia, Bulgaria


my problem:

 In the "#Format the return string" why we did not call for True statement
for if statement and it also gives the correct answer?


please help me through the mentioned if statement.

Thanks,
