Fake Class Note 5

Lecture 4 of CS101 covers control structures, which dictate the flow of program execution. It discusses conditional statements like if, if-else, and if-elif-else, as well as loops such as for and while, including break and continue statements. Mastering these concepts is essential for writing effective code, with an example provided for illustration.

Lecture 4 - Control Structures

Prof. Dr. James O'Connor

I. What are Control Structures?

Control structures determine the flow of a program's execution.

II. Conditional Statements

- if Statement: Executes a block of code if a condition is true.

- if-else Statement: Provides an alternative block if the condition is false.

- if-elif-else Ladder: Allows multiple conditions to be tested.

III. Loops

- for Loop: Iterates over a sequence.

- while Loop: Continues as long as a condition is true.

- break and continue statements: Control loop execution.

IV. Importance

Mastering control structures is fundamental to writing effective and efficient code.

V. Example Code

```

for i in range(5):

print("Hello, world!")
```
