Nested Control Structures
Multiple if Statements
Sometimes you want to check for all condition
independently not relating to each other and condition
which is True will be executed. In this situation we use
Multiple if Statements
x=1
if x==1:
print("One")
if x<10:
print("x is less than 10")
if x==10:
print("x equals 10")
if x>10:
print("x greater than 10")
2
Nested if
There may be a situation when you want to check for
another condition after a condition resolves to true. In
such a situation, you can use the nested if construct.
One if statement can be placed inside another if statement
to form a nested if statement.
if i > k:
if j > k:
print("i and j are greater than k")
else:
print("i is less than or equal to k")

Nested if
Syntax
The syntax of the nested if...elif...else construct
may be −
if expression1:
statement(s)
if expression2:
statement(s)
elif expression3:
statement(s)
elif expression4:
statement(s)
else:
statement(s)
else:
statement(s)
RQ 4
Nested if
var = 100
if (var < 200):
print("Value is less than 200")
if(var == 150):
print("Value is 150")
elif(var == 100):
print("Value is 100")
elif(var == 50):
print("Value is 50")
elif(var < 50):
print("Value is less than 50")
else:
print("Could not find true expression")
print("Nested IF completed!!")

Multiple Alternative (MultiWay)
if Statements
if score >= 90.0: if score >= 90.0:
grade = 'A' grade = 'A'
else: elif score >= 80.0:
if score >= 80.0: Equivalent grade = 'B'
grade = 'B' elif score >= 70.0:
else: grade = 'C'
if score >= 70.0: elif score >= 60.0:
grade = 'C' grade = 'D'
else: else:
if score >= 60.0: This is better grade = 'F'
grade = 'D'
else:
grade = 'F'
(a) (b)

Flowchart
False
score >= 90
False
True score >= 80
False
grade = 'A' True score >= 70
False
grade = 'B' True score >= 60
grade = 'C' True
grade = 'D'
grade = 'F'

Nested If
Which if clause is matched by the else clause? The indentation
indicates that the else clause matches the first if clause in (a) and
the second if clause in (b).
TIP: The code can be simplified by assigning the test value directly
to the variable, as shown in (b)
if number % 2 == 0: even = number % 2 == 0
Equivalent
even = True
else:
even = False This is shorter
(a) (b)

RQ 16
break Statement in Python
The break statement terminates the loop
containing it. Control of the program flows to the
statement immediately after the body of the loop.
In nested Loops, if break statement is inside a
inner loop, it will terminate the inner most loop.
If break statement is inside a outer loop, it will
terminate both inner and outer loop.
17
break Statement in Python
# Use of break statement
# inside loop
for val in "string":
if val == "i":
break
print(val)
print("The end")
s
t
r
The end
18
Python break statement
for letter in 'Python': # First Example
if letter == 'h':
break
print('Current Letter :', letter)
var = 10 # Second Example
while var > 0:
var = var -1
if var == 5:
break
print('Current variable value :', var)
print("Program Complete!")
RQ 19
Python continue statement
The continue statement is used to skip the
rest of the code inside a loop for the
current iteration only.
Loop does not terminate but continues on
with the next iteration.
20
Python continue statement
# Program to show the use of
# continue statement inside
# loops
for val in "string":
if val == "i":
continue
print(val)

r
n
g
The end
21
Python continue statement
for letter in 'Python': # First Example
if letter == 'h':
continue
print('Current Letter :', letter)
var = 10 # Second Example
while var > 0:
var = var -1

continue
print('Current variable value :', var)
print("Program Complete!")
