Jinja2 - how to assign value to a variable based on if else condition?

I want to do something really simple in Jinja2 - if a>100 then do nothing else let b = 5. Here's my attempt but it does not work:

{% if a|float>100 %}
{% else %}
{% set b=5 %}
{% endif %}

I got an error like this:

jinja2.exceptions.TemplatesyntaxError: expected token 'end of statement block', got '%'

I couldn't find the correct syntax from Jinja2 documentation, so please kindly help. Thanks!

If nothing happens if the first condition is true, why don't you go straight to the second one?

How about:

{% if ( a|float>100 ) == false %}
    {% set b=5 %}
{% endif %}`
