Python Control Flow

Control flow structures in Python determine how code executes based on conditions and loops.

Conditional Statements

Python uses if, elif, and else statements for decision-making.

num = 10
if num > 0:
    print("Positive number")
elif num < 0:
    print("Negative number")
else:
    print("Zero")
        

Loops

Python supports two types of loops: for and while.

For Loop

for i in range(5):
    print(i)
        

While Loop

x = 0
while x < 5:
    print(x)
    x += 1
        

Breaking and Continuing

The break statement exits a loop, and the continue statement skips the current iteration.

for i in range(5):
    if i == 3:
        break
    print(i)
