Python Conditional
Statements
Exploring advanced conditional structures in Python programming.
Nested Conditions
Outer Condition
First level of decision-making.

Inner Condition
Secondary decision within the first.

Multiple Levels
Can have many nested layers.
Multi-way Decision Statements
1 2 3

if Statement elif Statements else Statement

Initial condition check. Additional conditions to check. Final fallback option.
Conditional Expressions
Syntax Compact
value_if_true if condition One-line alternative to if-
else value_if_false else blocks.

Readability
Useful for simple conditions.
Errors in Conditional
Statements
1 Indentation Errors 2 Logical Errors
Incorrect indentation Faulty condition logic
leads to unexpected causes incorrect results.
behavior.

3 Syntax Errors
Improper use of colons or parentheses.
else-if vs if-if Statements
else-if (elif) if-if

Mutually exclusive conditions. Independent conditions.

Stops after first true condition. Checks all conditions regardless.

Python String
Manipulation
Explore powerful string operations in Python.

Learn essential techniques for working with text data.

String Basics
Definition Immutability
Sequence of characters Cannot be changed after
enclosed in quotes creation

Types
Single, double, or triple quotes
Control Code in Strings
1 Escape Characters 2 Newline 3 Tab
Use backslash to insert special '\n' for line breaks '\t' for indentation
characters
Slicing and Indexing

Indexing Slicing Negative Indexing

Access individual characters using Extract substrings using colon Count from end of string
square brackets notation
String Concatenation
Plus Operator Join Method

Combine strings using '+' Efficiently concatenate multiple strings

s1 = "Hello" words = ["Python", "is", "awesome"]

s2 = "World" result = " ".join(words)
result = s1 + " " + s2
Arithmetic with Strings
Operation Example Result

Multiplication "Hi" * 3 "HiHiHi"

Addition "2" + "2" "22"

Subtraction Not allowed TypeError

Python Loops:
While and For
Explore Python's powerful loop structures for beginners.
While Loop Basics
Definition
Repeats code while condition is True.

Syntax
while condition: code block

Use Case
Unknown number of iterations.
Conditionals in While
Loops
If Statement Elif
Check conditions within loop. Multiple conditions in loop.

Else
Execute when condition false.
Counting with While Loops
1 2 3

Initialize Counter Increment Check Condition

Set counter variable before loop. Increase counter in loop body. Use counter in while condition.
Break and Continue
Break Continue Example

Exit loop immediately. Skip to next iteration. Use in specific conditions.

For Loop Basics
Definition
Iterate over sequence.

Syntax
for item in sequence: code block

Use Case
Known number of iterations.
Conditionals in For Loops
1 If Statement 2 Nested Conditionals
Check if each number in a Iterate through a list of
list is even. If it is, print strings. If a string is
the number. If it's not, longer than 5 characters,
skip it. check if it starts with the
letter 'A'. If it does, print
the string. Otherwise,
skip it.

3 List Comprehension
Create a new list containing only the even numbers from a
list of integers, using a list comprehension with an if
statement to filter the elements.
Counting with For Loops
1 Range Function
Generate a sequence of numbers using the `range()` function.
This is useful when you need to iterate a specific number of
times.

2 Enumerate
Use the `enumerate()` function to get both the index and value
of each item in a sequence. This simplifies situations where you
need to track the position of an item within a loop.

3 Zip
The `zip()` function lets you iterate over multiple sequences
simultaneously. It pairs corresponding elements from each
sequence, creating tuples. This is handy for comparing or
combining data from different lists.
In Operator with For Loops
Membership Test Iteration Efficiency
Check if item exists in sequence. Use with for loop directly. Fast for lists, sets, dictionaries.
Loop Comparison: While
vs For

While Loop For Loop

Condition-based Sequence-based

Unknown iterations Known iterations

More flexible More concise

Mastering Nested
Loops in Python
Explore powerful nested loop structures for complex iterations.
Nested While Loops
Outer Loop
Controls main iteration sequence.

Inner Loop
Executes completely for each outer loop iteration.

Use Case
Ideal for multi-dimensional data processing.
Nested For Loops
Structure Efficiency Example

Outer for loop contains inner for loop. Great for iterating through multi- Printing multiplication tables or
dimensional lists or matrices. coordinate systems.
While Loop Inside For
Loop
1 For Loop
Defines overall iteration count.

2 While Loop
Executes variable number of times per iteration.

3 Application
Useful for conditional processing within fixed iterations.
For Loop Inside While Loop
While Condition Nested For Loop Use Case
Controls overall program flow. Performs fixed iterations within Implementing game loops with
each while loop cycle. level progression.
Best Practices for Nested
Loops
1 Readability 2 Optimization
Use clear variable names Minimize unnecessary
and comments. iterations for better
performance.
