Control Structures in Python

1. Selection control structure


if statement
 if statement contains a logical expression and if the result is True if block is executed.
Syntax
if expression:
statement(s)

else Statement
 An else statement is combined with an if statement. And contains the block of code that executes if the
expression in the if statement resolves to 0 or a False value.
Syntax
if expression:
statement(s)
else:
statement(s)

elif Statement
 allows to check multiple expressions for truth value. There can be an arbitrary number of elif statements
following an if.
Syntax
if expression1:
statement(s)
elif expression2:
statement(s)
else:
statement(s)

nested if statement
Syntax
if expression1:
if expression2:
statement(s)
else:
statement(s)
else:
statement(s)

2. Repetition control structure (Loop statements)


 while statement
 for statement

while statement
 while statement continues repetition until the expression becomes false. The expression is a logical
expression and must return either True or False.

Syntax
while expression:
statement(s)

for Loop Statement


for loop in Python can iterate over the items of any sequence, such as a list , a string , a tuple or a range object.
Syntax
for iteratingVar in sequence:
statement(s)

The sequence is evaluated first. Then, the first item in the sequence is assigned to the iterating variable -
iteratingVar. Next, the statements block is executed. Each item in the list is assigned to iteratingVar, and the
statements block is executed until the entire sequence is exhausted.

break Statement
 break statement in Python terminates the current loop and resumes execution at the next statement.
 The break statement can be used in both while and for loops.
continue Statement
 continue statement rejects all the remaining statements in the current iteration of the loop and moves the
control back to the top of the loop.
 continue statement can be used in both while and for loops.

else Statement with while loops


 If the else statement is used with a while loop, the else statement is executed when the condition becomes
false.
Syntax
while expression:
statement(s)
else:
statement(s)

 If the else statement is used with a for loop, the else statement is executed when the loop has exhausted
iterating the list.
num=int(input('Enter a number: '))
while num<=0:
num=int(input('Enter a number: '))

n=2
while n<num:
if num%n==0:
print(num, 'is not a prime number')
break
n+=1
else:
print(num,'is a prime number')

else Statement with for loop
 else statement is used with a for loop, the else statement is executed when the loop has exhausted iterating
the sequence.
 If the break statement is executed else statement is not executed.

num=int(input('Enter a number: '))


while num<=1:
num=int(input('Enter a number: '))

for n in range(2,num):
if num%n==0:
print('Not a prime number')
break
else:
print('Prime number')
