Control Structures in Python

Control Structures in Python

Control structures are blocks of programming that analyze variables and choose directions in which

to go based on given parameters.

They allow for conditional execution, repeated execution, or more complex flow control.

1. Conditional Statements

Python provides several types of conditional statements:

a. if statement

b. if-else statement

c. if-elif-else statement

Example:

if x > 0:

print("Positive number")

elif x == 0:

print("Zero")

else:

print("Negative number")

2. Loops

Python supports two types of loops:

a. for loop: Used for iterating over a sequence (like a list, tuple, or string).

Example:
for i in range(5):

print(i)

b. while loop: Repeats as long as a condition is True.

Example:

while x < 10:

print(x)

x += 1

3. Control Flow Statements

These statements are used to modify the flow of execution within loops:

a. break: Exits the loop.

b. continue: Skips to the next iteration.

c. pass: Does nothing, acts as a placeholder.

Example:

for i in range(5):

if i == 3:

break # Exit loop when i is 3

print(i)

4. Exception Handling

Python uses try-except blocks to handle exceptions and ensure the program continues running.

Example:

try:

result = 10 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError:

print("Cannot divide by zero")

5. Function Control

Python functions can use control structures to manage execution flow within them.

Example:

def factorial(n):

if n == 0:

return 1

else:

return n * factorial(n - 1)
