    Control Flow – If, Elif, Else

    This section introduces control flow in Python using if, elif, and else statements for decision-making.

    What Is Control Flow?

    Control flow in programming allows decision-making and code execution based on conditions using statements like if, elif, and else.

    Learning Practice

  • 4.2

    The If Statement

    The if statement allows a program to execute a block of code only when a specified condition is true.

    Learning Practice

  • 4.3

    The Else Statement

    The 'else' statement in Python allows programs to execute a block of code when an 'if' condition is false, facilitating decision-making in control flow.

    Learning Practice

  • 4.4

    The Elif Statement

    The 'elif' statement in Python allows for checking multiple conditions in control flow structures.

    Learning Practice

  • 4.5

    Indentation Is Crucial

    Indentation is essential in Python programming for defining code blocks, specifically within if, elif, and else statements.

    Learning Practice

  • 4.6

    Nested Conditions

    Nested conditions allow for more complex decision-making processes in programming by placing one if statement inside another.
