Branching
Branching Using Conditional Statements and Loops

• Branching- Process of using conditions to execute certain set of


instructions in python program
• Condition satisfied – Program will execute one set of instructions
• Condition not satisfied- Program will execute other set of instructions
Branching with if,else and elif
• Part of conditional statements
• The if statement
• The if-else statement
• The nested-if statement
• The if-elif-else ladder
Python if statement
Syntax:
if condition:
statement1
statement2
Condition- value, variable or expression
If condition is true statements within if block are executed

Example:
#Example for if statement
x=12
y=20
if (x<y):
print(“x is less than y”)
If-else statement
• else statement with the if statement executes a block of code when the if
condition is false.
Syntax:
if (condition):
# Executes this block if condition is true
else:
# Executes this block if condition is false

Example:
x = 22
y = 20
if y > x:
print(“y is greater than x")
else:
print(“y is not greater than x")
Nested if statement
• If statements inside if statements-used to check for another condition after
a particular condition holds true
• Syntax
if (condition1):
# Executes when condition1 is true
if (condition2):
# Executes when condition2 is true
# if Block is end here
# if Block is end here

Example:
x = 41

if x > 10:
print("Above ten,")
if x > 20:
print("and also above 20!")
else:
print("but not above 20.")
Elif(else if) statement
• To run in a series of conditional blocks.
Syntax:
if (condition):
statement
elif (condition):
statement
elif(condition):
statement
Example:
a = 33
b = 33
if b > a:
print("b is greater than a")
elif a != b:
print("a and b are unequal")
elif a == b:
print("a and b are equal")
If,elif,else
• Syntax
if (condition):
statement
elif (condition):
statement
.
.
else:
statement
Example:
a = 200
b = 33
if b > a:
print("b is greater than a")
elif a == b:
print("a and b are equal")
else:
print("a is greater than b")
for loop
• It is used for iterating over sequences(ex:lists,tuples,range,string)
• For loop executes set of statements for each item in the sequence
• Syntax:
for value in sequence:
statement(s)
Example:
days = ['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday']
for i in days:
print(day)
Iterating using range
• Used to create a sequence of numbers can be iterated in for loop
• Range(n) – creates sequence of numbers from 0-(n-1)
• Range(a,n)-creates sequence of numbers from a-(n-1)
• Range(a,n,step)-creates sequence of numbers from a-(n-1) with incremental step

Examples:
for i in range(5):
print(i)
Output:
0
1
2
3
4
While loop
• With the while loop we can execute a set of statements as long as a condition is true.
• Syntax:
while condition:
statement
Here statements executed until the condition becomes true.
Example:
i=1
while i < 6:
print(i)
i += 1 #remember to increment i, or else the loop will continue forever.(infinite loop)
Output:
1
2
3
4
5
Break Statement in Python
• The break statement is used to break out of a loop
• Used in for and while loops to alter the control flow
Example:
i=1
while i < 6:
print(i)
if i == 3:
break #exit the loop when i=3
i += 1
Output:
1
2
3
Break in for loop

Example:
for i in range(1, 10):
if i == 4:
break
print(i)
Output:
1
2
3
Continue Statement in Python

• used to stop the current iteration in a for loop or a while loop and continues with next iteration.
Example:
i=0
while i < 6:
i += 1
if i == 3:
continue
print(i)

Output:
1
2
4
5
6
