Understanding Conditional Statements and Loops

The document explains control structures in programming, focusing on conditional statements (if, elif, else) and loops (for, while). It describes how these structures are used to make decisions, control program flow, and avoid code repetition. Additionally, it covers break and continue statements for managing loop execution.

CONTROL
STRUCTURES
HOME ABOUT MORE

In programming, a conditional
statement is a command that lets the
computer decide what to do based on
a condition (True or False). If
something is true, do this. Otherwise,
CONDITIONAL do something else. This statements
STATEMENTS include; if, elif, else and if else.

Why Do We Use Them?


• To make decisions in our code
• To perform different actions
depending on different situations
• To control the flow of the program
HOME ABOUT MORE

IF STATEMENT

Use when you want to check one


condition. Only runs if the
condition is True, if False nothing
happens.
HOME ABOUT MORE

ELIF STATEMENT

Use when you have more than 2


choices.

• if → first check
• elif → second check
HOME ABOUT MORE

ELSE STATEMENT
Use else as a final option when no
other conditions are True. No
condition after else. It just catches
all remaining cases.

• if → first check
• elif → second check
• else → if none of the above are
true

IF...ELSE STATEMENT

An if...else statement is a
conditional statement that tells
the computer “Do this if the
condition is true, otherwise do
something else”. Use when you
want two possible outcomes.

A loop is a programming command


that repeats a block of code multiple
times until a certain condition is met.
LOOP
Why Use Loops?
COMMANDS • To avoid repeating code manually
• To perform a task again and again
• To save time and effort
HOME ABOUT MORE

FOR LOOP Output :

Use it when you know how many


times to repeat.
HOME ABOUT MORE

WHILE LOOP Output :

Use it when you don’t know how


many times yet.

A break statement is used to


immediately stop a loop — even if the
loop condition is still true.
BREAK
Why Use break?
STATEMENT • To exit a loop early when a specific
condition is met.
• To avoid unnecessary repetitions.
• To control the flow more precisely.

The continue statement is used to


skip the current iteration of the loop
and move to the next one.
CONTINUE
Why Use continue?
STATEMENT • To skip specific values or
conditions inside a loop
• To avoid running certain code
without breaking the whole loop
• To make your loop more flexible
