Chapter 3: Control Flow and Decision-Making in Python
Abstract : Control flow in Python determines the order in which statements are executed. It allows you to create dynamic programs that make decisions and repeat actions. Here's a breakdown of the essential elements: Conditional Statements: • if statement: Executes a block of code if a condition is true. if x > 0: print("x is positive") • elif statement: (short for "else if") Allows you to check multiple conditions sequentially. if x > 0: print("x is positive") elif x == 0: print("x is zero") • else statement: Executes a block of code if none of the preceding conditions are true. if x > 0: print("x is positive") else: print("x is not positive") Loops: • for loop: Iterates over a sequence (like a list, tuple, or string). ...
