03 Control Statements

The document discusses control flow and decision making in Python using if, if-else, and if-elif-else statements. It provides the syntax for each statement and examples of how they work. The if statement executes code if a test expression is true, if-else executes the if block for true and else block for false, and if-elif-else allows checking multiple expressions and executing one of the blocks. Indentation is used to indicate the code blocks for each statement.

Control Flow: Decision Making


 It is required when we want to execute a code only if a certain condition is satisfied.
 The if…elif…else statement is used in Python for decision making.
 Python if Statement Syntax:
If Test Expression:
statement(s)
 Here, the program evaluates the
test expression and will execute
statement(s) only if the test expression is True.
 If the test expression is False, the statement(s) is not executed.

if Statement: Example
 In Python, the body of the if statement is indicated by the indentation.
 The body starts with an indentation.
 The first un-indented line marks the end.
 In the below program, var1 > 0 and var2 > 0 is the test expression.
 The body of the first if statement is executed, because the evaluate is True.

If-else Statement
 Syntax of if-else:
if Test Expression:
Body of if
else:
Body of else
 The if-else statement evaluates
Test Expression and will execute the body
of if only when the test condition is True.
 If the condition is False, the body of else is executed.
 Indentation is used to separate the blocks. 4

If-else Statement: Example


 In the below example, the program will ask the user to enter an number.
 When the user enter a number, it convert to float type.
 If the test expression is true and the body of if is executed and the body of
else is skipped.
 Otherwise, the test expression is false and the body of else is executed and
the body of if is skipped.

If-elif-else Statement
 Syntax of if-else:
if Test Expression:
Body of if
elif Test Expression:
Body of elif
else:
Body of else
 The elif is short for else if.
 It allows to check for multiple expressions.
