3. Control Flow

This chapter covers the topics:

• Introduction to Control Structures

• Conditional Statements (if, elif, else)

• Loops (for, while)

• Control Flow Keywords (break, continue, pass)

Fig. 3.1 Control structures sequence selection and iteration

Control Flow Statements Type	Control Flow Statement	Description
Conditional Statements	if-else	Executes a block of code if a specified condition is true, and another block if the condition is false.
	switch-case	Evaluates a variable or expression and executes code based on matching cases.
Looping Statements	for	Executes a block of code a specified number of times, typically iterating over a range of values.
	while	Executes a block of code as long as a specified condition is true.
	do-while (while True in Python)	Executes a block of code once and then repeats the execution as long as a specified condition is true.
Jump Statements	break	Terminates the loop or switch statement and transfers control to the statement immediately following the loop or switch.
	continue	Skips the current iteration of a loop and continues with the next iteration.
	return	Exits a function and returns a value to the caller.
	goto	Transfers control to a labeled statement within the same function. (Note: goto is generally discouraged due to its potential for creating unreadable and error-prone code.)

Is an inner function the same as goto?

No. goto is one way to
