Python Conditional expression (Activity 4.7.1)

Question:

Create a conditional expression that evaluates to string "negative" if user_val is less than 0, and "non-negative" otherwise. Example output when user_val is -9 for the below sample program:

-9 is negative

Code:

user_val = -9

cond_str =0
if user_val<0:
    cond_str='negative'
else:
    cond_str='non-negative'
    

print(user_val, 'is', cond_str)
