Control - Structures - Loops - Conditionals Part 9

Control structures are fundamental in programming, determining the flow of execution through conditional statements and loops. Conditional statements, such as if, if-else, and switch, enable decision-making, while loops (for, while, do-while) facilitate repeated execution of code blocks. Mastering these structures enhances problem-solving capabilities in programming.

3 Control Structures (Loops,


Conditionals)
Understanding Control Flow in
Programming
What are Control Structures?
• Control structures determine the flow of
execution in a program.

• Types of Control Structures:


• - Conditional Statements (if, if-else, switch)
• - Loops (for, while, do-while)
Conditional Statements
• Conditional statements allow a program to
make decisions based on conditions.

• - if statement: Executes a block of code if a


condition is true.
• - if-else statement: Executes one block if true,
another if false.
• - switch statement: Selects a case based on a
variable’s value.
Example: if-else Statement
• Python:
• age = 18
• if age >= 18:
• print('You are an adult')
• else:
• print('You are a minor')

• Java:
• int age = 18;
• if (age >= 18) {
• System.out.println('You are an adult');
• } else {
• System.out.println('You are a minor');
• }
Loops in Programming
• Loops allow repeated execution of a block of
code.

• Types of Loops:
• - for loop: Iterates a fixed number of times.
• - while loop: Repeats as long as a condition is
true.
• - do-while loop: Executes at least once before
checking the condition.
Example: for Loop
• Python:
• for i in range(5):
• print('Iteration:', i)

• Java:
• for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
• System.out.println('Iteration: ' + i);
• }
Example: while Loop
• Python:
• count = 0
• while count < 5:
• print('Count:', count)
• count += 1

• Java:
• int count = 0;
• while (count < 5) {
• System.out.println('Count: ' + count);
• count++;
• }
Conclusion
• Control structures are essential for directing
program execution.

• - Conditional statements help in decision-


making.
• - Loops allow repetitive execution of tasks.
• - Mastering these structures improves
problem-solving skills.
