Control Flow

• Programming languages define statements to control the flow of execution of the program

• Control flow constructs in Python

  • Conditional statements

    • if and match

  • Iteration statements or loops

    • Count-controlled loops

      • The for statement

      • Iterates over each element of an iterable object (e.g., sequence datatypes)

    • Condition-controlled loops

      • The while statement

      • Executes a code repeatedly as long as a condition stays true

• The if, match, for, and while statements are compound statements

  • Typically span multiple lines of code
