Python - Looping 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:

  1. while Loop
  2. for Loop

Flow Control Summary

Category Statements
