Control Statements in Python

Control statements decide which lines run and how often. Decision: if / elif / else. Loops: for / while. Jump helpers: break, continue, pass. Without them a script is only straight lines. Real programs choose a path, repeat work, and sometimes stop early.

Viva overview: name the three groups with one keyword each. Then one tiny example — even/odd if, for over names, break when found. Don’t recast the whole language as “control flow theory”.

Control Statements in Python — output — Pass then 0 then 1. if chooses, for repeats.

Exam tip

Decision + loop + jump overview.

Example

# Control statements
marks = 72
if marks >= 40:
    print("Pass")
for i in range(2):
    print(i)

Control Statements in Python — output: Pass then 0 then 1. if chooses, for repeats.
