Indentation in Python
 Indentation in Python
• In Python, indentation is used to declare a block. If two
statements are at the same indentation level, then they are
the part of the same block.

• For the ease of programming and to achieve simplicity,

python doesn't allow the use of curly braces or parentheses
for the block level code.

• Indentation is the most used part of the python programming

language.

• Generally, a tab space or four spaces are given to indent the

statements in python.
Conditional Statements in Python
 Conditional Statements in Python
• Conditional Statements performs different computations or
actions depending on conditions.
• In python, the following are conditional statements
o if
o if –else
o if – elif –else
If statement:
• The if statement is used to test a specific condition. If the
condition is true, a block of code (if-block) will be executed.
Syntax:
if condition:
statement1
statement2

Example: ifdemo.py Output:

a = 33 python ifdemo.py
b = 200 b is greater than a
if b > a: done…
print ("b is greater than a")
print ("done…")

Remember:
input () function is used to get input from user.
Example:
a=input (“Enter a value”)

If-else statement:
• The if-else statement provides an else block combined with the if
statement which is executed in the false case of the condition.
Syntax:
Output:
if condition:
#block of statements
python ifelsedemo.py
else:
Enter your age: 19
You are eligible to vote!!
#another block of statements (else-block)

Example: ifelsedemo.py
age = int(input("Enter your age : "))
if age>=18:
print("You are eligible to vote !!")
else:
print("Sorry! you have to wait !!"))

If-elif-else statement:
• The elif statement enables us to check multiple conditions and
execute the specific block of statements depending upon the true
condition among them.
Syntax:
if condition1:
# block of statements
elif condition2:
# block of statements
elif condition3:
# block of statements
else:
# block of statements

Example: maxnum.py
a=int(input("Enter a value : "))
b=int(input("Enter b value : "))
c=int(input("Enter c value : "))
if (a>b) and (a>c):
print("Maximum value is :",a)
elif (b>a) and (b>c):
print("Maximum value is :",b)
else:
print("Maximum value
is :",c)
Output:
python maxnum.py
Enter a value: 10
Enter b value: 14
Enter c value: 9
Maximum value is: 14
Loop Statements in Python
 Loop Statements in Python
• Sometimes we may need to alter the flow of the program. If the
execution of a specific code may need to be repeated several
numbers of times then we can go for loop statements.
• In python, the following are loop statements
o while loop
o for loop

while loop:
• With the while loop we can execute a set of statements as long as
a condition is true. The while loop is mostly used in the case where
the number of iterations is not known in advance.
Syntax:
while expression:
Statement(s)

Example: whiledemo.py Output:

i=1; python whiledemo.py
while i<=3: 1
print(i); 2
i=i+1; 3

Using else with while loop

• Python enables us to use the while loop with the else block
also. The else block is executed when the condition given in
the while statement becomes false.
Example: wedemo.py Output:
i=1; python wedemo.py
while i<=3: 1
print(i); 2
i=i+1; 3
else:
while loop terminated
print("while loop terminated")
 Loop Statements in Python Cont..

for loop:
• The for loop in Python is used to iterate the statements or a part
of the program several times. It is frequently used to traverse the
data structures like list, tuple, or dictionary.

Syntax:
for iterating_var in sequence:
statement(s)

Example: fordemo.py Output:

i=1 python fordemo.py
n=int(input("Enter n value : ")) Enter n value: 5
for i in range(i,n+1): 12345
print(i,end = ' ')

Using else with for loop

• Python allows us to use the else statement with the for loop
which can be executed only when all the iterations are
exhausted.
• Here, we must notice that if the loop contains any of the
break statement then the else statement will not be executed.
Example: fedemo.py
for i in range(1,5):
print(i,end=' ')
else:
print("for loop completely exhausted");

Output:
python fedemo.py
1234
for loop completely exhausted
Jump Statements in Python
 Jump Statements in Python
• Jump statements in python are used to alter the flow of a loop like
you want to skip a part of a loop or terminate a loop.
• In python, the following are jump statements
o break
o continue
break:
• The break is a keyword in python which is used to bring the
program control out of the loop.
• The break statement breaks the loops one by one, i.e., in the case
of nested loops, it breaks the inner loop first and then proceeds to
outer loops.
• The break is commonly used in the cases where we need to break
the loop for a given condition.
Syntax: break

Example: breakdemo.py
i = 1 Output:
while i < 6: python breakdemo.py
print(i)
if i == 3:
1
break 2
i += 1 3

continue:
• The continue statement in python is used to bring the program
control to the beginning of the loop.
• The continue statement skips the remaining lines of code inside
the loop and start with the next iteration.
• It is mainly used for a particular condition inside the loop so
that we can skip some specific code for a particular condition.
Syntax: continue

Example: continuedemo.py
str =input("Enter any String : ")
for i in str:
if i == 'h':
continue;
print(i,end=" ");

Output:
python continuedemo.py
Enter any String : python
