Summary¶
Control flow allows programs to make decisions and repeat operations.
Key constructs include:
| Construct | Purpose |
|---|---|
if |
conditional branching |
for |
iterate over sequences |
while |
repeat while condition holds |
break |
exit loops early |
continue |
skip iterations |
else on loops |
detect normal loop completion |
| ternary expression | inline conditional assignment |
match |
structural pattern matching |
Mastering control flow is essential for writing useful Python programs.
