Control Structures
 Python 3 – Basic Operators
 Operators are the constructs, which can manipulate the value
of operands.
 Python language supports the following types of operators
i. Arithmetic Operators
ii. Comparison (Relational) Operators
iii. Assignment Operators
iv. Logical Operators
v. Bitwise Operators
vi. Membership Operators

Python Arithmetic Operators
 Assume variable a holds the value 10 and variable b holds the
value 21, then

Python Comparison Operators
 These operators compare the values on either side of them and
decide the relation among them.
 They are also called Relational operators.
 Assume variable a holds the value 10 and variable b holds the value
20, then

Python Assignment Operators
 Assume variable a holds 10 and variable b holds 20, then-

Python Bitwise Operators
 Bitwise operator works on bits and performs bit-by-bit operation.
 Assume if a = 60; and b = 13; Now in binary format they will be as follows
a= 0011 1100
b = 0000 1101
-----------------
a&b = 0000 1100
a|b = 0011 1101
a^b = 0011 0001
~a = 1100 0011
 Python's built-in function bin() can be used to obtain binary
representation of an integer number.

Python Logical Operators
 The following logical operators are supported by Python
language.
 Assume variable a holds True and variable b holds False then

Python Membership Operators
 Python’s membership operators test for membership in a
sequence, such as strings, lists, or tuples.
 There are two membership operators as explained below-

 Conditionals

 In Python, True and False are Boolean objects of class 'bool' and they are immutable.
 Python assumes any non-zero and non-null values as True, otherwise it is False value.
 Python does not provide switch or case statements as in other languages.
 Syntax:
if Statement if..else Statement if..elif..else Statement

 Example:

 Conditionals

 Using the conditional expression

Another type of conditional structure in Python, which is very convenient and easy to read.

The elif Statement
 The elif statement allows you to check multiple expressions
for TRUE
 Similar to the else, the elif statement is optional.
 However, unlike else, for which there can be at the most one
statement, there can be an arbitrary number of elif
statements following an if.

Nested IF Statements

 Python 3 – Loops
 In general, statements are executed sequentially-
 The first statement in a function is executed first, followed by the
second, and so on.
 Python programming language provides the following types of
loops to handle looping requirements

17
 Cont’d …
while Loop Statements
 A while loop statement in Python programming language
repeatedly executes a target statement as long as a given
condition is true.

 Here, statement(s) may be a single statement or a block of

statements with uniform indent.
 The condition may be any expression, and true is any non-zero
18
value.
 The loop iterates while the condition is true.

for Loop Statements
The for statement in Python has the ability to iterate over the items of
any sequence, such as a list or a string.

 The range() function

 The built-in function range() is the right function to iterate over a
sequence of numbers. It generates an iterator of arithmetic
progressions.

 The For Loop

 The while Loop

23
 Loops
Loop Control Statements
 Break :Terminates the statement and transfers execution to the statement immediately
following the loop.

 continue :Causes the loop to skip the remainder of its body and immediately retest
its condition prior to reiterating.

 pass :Used when a statement is required syntactically but you do not want
any command or code to execute.

 QUIZ(10%)
1) Write python code that Accept two numbers from the user and calculate
multiplication ,subtraction and addition.
2) Given a Python list of numbers. Turn every item of a list into its square
List = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
Expected Output: [1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49]
3) Reverse the given” List = [100, 200, 300, 400, 500]” in Python.
Expected Output: [500, 400, 300, 200, 100]
4. Write Python program to insert a number to any position in a list.
for example numbers = [3,4,1,9,6,2,8]
5. Write a program in Python to print number ranging from 1 to 25 but excluding number
which is the multiples of 5.
6. Write a program to filter even and odd number from a list.
Hint 1
Given x = [10, 23, 24, 35, 65, 78, 90] 28
