Chapter 6Flow of Control

break leaves the loop; continue skips to the next iteration.

1. Selection

  • if, if-else, if-elif-else.
  • Indentation defines blocks (usually 4 spaces).
if marks >= 90: grade = 'A'
elif marks >= 75: grade = 'B'
else: grade = 'C'

2. Loops

  • for i in range(start, stop, step) — stop is excluded.
  • while condition: … — runs while True.
  • else block on a loop runs if it ends without break.

range(5) → 0, 1, 2, 3, 4; range(10, 0, -2) → 10, 8, 6, 4, 2.

3. Jump Statements & Nesting

break

exit the innermost loop.

continue

skip the rest of this iteration.

pass

placeholder that does nothing.

Nested loops: the inner loop completes fully for each outer iteration (patterns, tables).

4. Key Points

  • Infinite loop: condition never becomes False.
  • Use while when the count is unknown.
  • Indentation errors are syntax errors.
  • range() makes integers only.

Remember: if-elif-else | range() rules | break, continue, pass
