Exercise: Conditionals
In this exercise, you'll define functions that consist entirely of compound conditionals (if/elif/else). Think carefully about the order of your conditions; sometimes order can have a big effect!

def lesser_num(num1, num2):
""" Returns whichever number is lowest of the two supplied numbers.
>>> lesser_num(45, 10)
10
>>> lesser_num(-1, 30)

Hello World
In this exercise, you'll use conditionals to translate a phrase into three different languages. Once you get the tests to pass, I encourage you to add another language you know!
🧩 For more guidance, try a Parsons Puzzle version of the problem first.
def hello_world(language_code):
""" Returns the translation of "Hello, World" into the language
specified by the language code (e.g. "es", "pt", "en"),
defaulting to English if an unknown language code is specified.
>>> hello_world("en")
'Hello, World'
>>> hello_world("es")
'Hola, Mundo'
>>> hello_world("pt")
'Olá, Mundo'
