• The pass statement is a null operation in Python.
• It does nothing when executed.
• It is used as a placeholder where code is required syntactically but no action is needed yet.
• Commonly used in empty functions, loops, classes, and conditional statements.

num = 10 

if num > 5: 
    pass 
    print("Program continues")

Example 2: Pass in a Function

def my_function(): 
    pass 
    print("Function created successfully")
