📌 What You Will Learn

- Identify the three types of flow control statements
- Distinguish the while loop from the for loop
- Understand the role of break, continue and pass transfer statements
Introduction
Flow Control decides the order in which Python statements are executed.
It helps the program make decisions, repeat tasks, and control the execution of statements.
Types of Flow Control Statements
Python provides three types of flow control statements.
| Category | Statements |
|---|---|
| Conditional Statements | if, if-elif, if-elif-else |
| Iterative Statements | while, for |
| Transfer Statements | break, continue, pass |
Iterative Statements
Sometimes we need to execute a group of statements multiple times.
This repeated execution is called Iteration.
Python provides two iterative statements:

📝 Key Takeaways
- Looping statements execute a group of statements multiple times through iteration
- Python provides two iterative statements: while and for
- Flow control has conditional, iterative and transfer statement categories
- break, continue and pass are the three transfer statements
- The repeated execution of a group of statements is called iteration
