A wife tells her programmer husband: “Go to the store and buy a gallon of milk. If they have eggs, get six.”

He comes back with six gallons of milk. When she asks why, he replies: “They had eggs".

Python, though the logic would be backwards:

milk_gallons = 6 if eggs > 0 else 1

Right, it would be started basically exactly the opposite. Certainly not a statement followed by an if block.

The code block I wrote is a statement followed by an if. What I meant be "backwards" was the order of conditions, not that the statement came after the if. It's exactly what you asked for.
