CHAPTER 9

Control Structures in Python

Q1. What do you understand by control structure?

Ans. A control structure is a programming construct which affects the flow of the execution of a
program.

Q2. What is the use of if-elif-else statement? Write its syntax.

Ans.We can use the if-elif- else statements to evaluate multiple scenarios. First it checks and evaluates
the first condition if it is true it will execute the respective statements, but if the condition is false it goes
to the elif statement and evaluates those conditions. Finally if none of the conditions evaluate to true it
executes the else block. The syntax of the if-elif-else statement is as follows:

if(conditional expression):

statement(s)

elif(conditional expression):

statement(s)

elif(conditional expression):

statement(s)

else:

statement(s)

Q3. Define and write the syntax of the following:

(i) if statement
The if statement is a decision making statement that is used to control the flow of execution of
statements.
The syntax of the if statement is as follows:

if(conditional expression):

statement(s)

(ii) Nested if statement


Nested if statements mean if statements are placed within another if statement.
The syntax of the nested if statement is as follows:
if(conditional expression):
statement(s)
if(conditional expression):
statement(s)
elif(conditional expression):
statement(s)
else:
statement(s)
else:
statement(s)

(iii)if-else

The if-else statement is used to evaluate whether a given statement is true or false.

The syntax of the if-else statement is as follows:

if(conditional expression):
statement(s)
else:
statement(s)
Q4. How are sequential statements different from selection statements?

Ans. Sequential statements: The statements that are executed in a sequential order ie. one after the
other without any jumps are called sequential statements.

Selection statements: When programmers are required to execute a particular set of statements
depending on a particular test condition, a selection or decision making statement is required.

Q5.Draw the flowchart for the following statements.

Ans.
(i)if statement:
(ii)if-else statement

(iii) if-elif-else statement

(iv) Nested if statement
