As a beginner, I'd like to know how to check if a single variable meets five distinct criteria.

edit

You can use a series of conditional statements (if-else) to check if a single variable meets five distinct criteria. Here's an example in Python:

# Define a variable
x = 10

# Check if x meets five distinct criteria
if x > 0:
    print("x is positive")
else:
    print("x is non-positive")

if x % 2 == 0:
    print("x is even")
else:
    print("x is odd")

if x < 20:
    print("x is less than 20")
else:
    print("x is greater than or equal to 20")

if x != 5:
    print("x is not equal to 5")
else:
    print("x is equal to 5")

if x >= 0 and x <= 100:
    print("x is between 0 and 100 (inclusive)")
else:
    print("x is not between 0 and 100 (inclusive)")

This code checks if the variable x is positive, even, less than 20, not equal to 5, and between 0 and 100 (inclusive). You can modify the criteria based on your specific needs.
