Flow of Control
Types of statements
• In Python, statements are of 3 types-
» Empty Statements
pass
» Simple Statements (Single Statement)
• name=input (“Enter your Name “)
• print(name) etc.
» Compound Statements
• if else
• for
• while
Statement Flow Control
• In a program, statements executes in sequential, selective
or iterative manner.
Sequential Selective Iterative
A program illustrating sequential control.
Selectionif Statement
Statement : The ‘if’ statement
• Decision making in Python is achieved using the ‘if’
statement. Following is the syntax:
if <condition>:
statement(s)
if-else Statement
• If out of two statements, it is required to select one
statement for processing on the basis of a condition, if-
else statement is to be used. Its syntax is-
if <condition>:
statement(s) when condition is true
else:
statement(s) when condition is false
like -
if-elif Statements
• If out of multiple statements, it is required to select one
statement for processing on the basis of a condition, if-
elif statement is to be used. Its syntax is-
if <condition1>: like -
statement(s) when condition1 is true
elif <condition2>:
statement(s) when condition2 is true
elif <condition3>:
statement(s) when condition3 is
true
else
Nested If -else
Loop/ Repetition/ Iteration
These control structures are used for repeated execution of
statement(s) on the basis of a condition. Loop has 3 main
components-
1. Start (initialization of loop)
2. Step (moving forward in loop )
3. Stop (ending of loop)
Python has following loops-
– for loop
– while loop
range () Function
• InPython, an important function is range( ).
its syntax is-
range ( <lower limit>,<upper limit>)
If we write - range (0,5 )
Then a list will be created with the values [0,1,2,3,4]
i.e. from lower limit to the value one less than ending limit.
range (0,10,2) will have the list
[0,2,4,6,8]. range (5,0,-1) will have the list
[5,4,3,2,1].
in and not in operator
• in operator-
3 in [1,2,3,4] will return True.
5 in [1,2,3,4] will return False.
– not in operator-
5 not in [1,2,3,4] will return True.

<loop body with increment
or decrement>
