python programming

1. Unit 2 Basic Python : Control Statements

2. control structures
• 3 control structures
• Sequential structure
• Built into Python
• Selection structure
• The if statement
• The if/else statement
• The if/elif/else statement
• Repetition structure
• The while repetition structure
• The for repetition structure

Sequence Control Structure

add grade to
total
add 1 to counter
total = total + grade;
counter = counter + 1;

if Selection Structure

if/else Structure

while Repetition Structure
• Repetition Structures
• Allow a program to repeat an action while a condition is true
• Using while Repetition
• Action(s) contained within the body of the loop
• Condition should evaluate to false at some point
• Otherwise infinite loop and program hangs

8. 8
while Repetition Structure
true
false
Product = 2 *
product
Product <= 1000
