21. IF, FOR, WHILE
The chapter focuses on critical programming constructs essential for decision-making and repetition in logical processes, highlighting the IF statement, FOR loop, and WHILE loop. It explains the syntax, usage, and distinctions between these constructs while providing examples for clarity. Additionally, it covers nested structures, emphasizing that these programming tools are foundational for developing intelligent systems in artificial intelligence.

What we have learnt
- IF is used for decision-making based on conditions.
- IF-ELSE and IF-ELIF-ELSE allow checking multiple conditions.
- FOR is used when the number of repetitions is known.
- WHILE is used when repetition continues until a condition becomes false.
- Loops can be nested or combined with conditions for complex logic.
Key Concepts
- -- IF Statement
- A programming construct that executes a block of code when a specified condition is true.
- -- FOR Loop
- A control structure used to repeat a block of code a specific number of times when the number of iterations is known.
- -- WHILE Loop
- A control structure that repeats a block of code as long as a specific condition is true, suitable for unknown iteration counts.
- -- Nested Structures
- Combining IF statements within loops or loops within IF statements to create more complex logic.
