Python Control Structures Explained

This document covers control structures in Python, including if-else statements, for loops, while loops, and loop control mechanisms like break and continue. It emphasizes how these structures enable decision-making and iteration, forming the basis of dynamic program flow. The lesson builds on previous knowledge of variables and data types, highlighting their role in controlling execution flow.

Overview
• This lesson builds upon variables and data
types.
• It introduces control structures that control
program flow:

• If-Else Statements
• For Loops
• While Loops
• Break and Continue
• Nested Loops
If-Else Statements
• Used to execute code based on conditions.

• Example:
• score = 85
• if score >= 90:
• grade = 'A'
• elif score >= 80:
• grade = 'B'
• else:
• grade = 'C'

• → Decision making based on comparison operators.


For Loops
• Used to iterate over sequences such as lists or
ranges.

• Example:
• fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'orange']
• for fruit in fruits:
• print(fruit)

• for i in range(1, 6):


• print(i)

• → Loops repeat code efficiently.


While Loops
• Repeat code while a condition is true.

• Example:
• count = 0
• while count < 5:
• print(count)
• count += 1

• → Use when the number of iterations is not known in


advance.
Break and Continue
• Used to control loop execution.

• Example:
• for num in range(1, 11):
• if num == 5:
• continue # Skip this iteration
• if num > 8:
• break # Stop the loop
• print(num)

• → 'continue' skips, 'break' stops.


Nested Loops
• Loops inside other loops allow structured repetition.

• Example:
• for i in range(1, 3):
• for j in range(1, 3):
• print(f'{i} x {j} = {i * j}')

• → Common in tables, grids, and matrix processing.


Relation to Variables & Data Types
• Variables store values that are used in conditions and
loops.
• Data types determine the type of comparison or operation
possible.
• Control structures make programs dynamic and
interactive.

• Together, these form the foundation of Python logic


flow.
Summary
• We learned how to control the execution flow in
Python using:
• Conditional statements (if-else)
• For and while loops
• Loop control (break, continue)
• Nested loops

Exercise: Write a Python code source for processing roots of a QE while


optimizing the code.
