What are Control Structures?
Control structures are fundamental programming concepts Types of Control Structures:
that control the flow of execution in a program.
• Sequential Control
They enable programs to make decisions, repeat tasks, or • Conditional Control (Selection)
execute code conditionally.
• Iterative Control (Loops)
• Branching Control
1. Sequential Control
Definition: Instructions are executed one after another in a linear order.

Example, like a morning routine.

Brush your teeth

Have breakfast

Pack your bag

Go to school
2. Conditional Control (Selection)
Definition: Conditional control allows programs to make decisions based on specific conditions.
Types of Conditional Statements:

If Statement
1 Executes code if condition is true

If-Else Statement
2 Provides alternative path if condition is false

Else-If Ladder
3 Checks multiple conditions in sequence

Conditional control allows programs to make decisions based on specific conditions.


Conditional Examples
If-Else Example Else-If Example Nested Conditions

age = 18 score = 85 if weather == "sunny":


if age >= 18: if score >= 90: if temperature > 25:
print("You can vote") print("Grade: A") print("Go
else: elif score >= 80: swimming")
print("Too young to print("Grade: B") else:
vote") else: print("Go hiking")
print("Grade: C")
3. Iterative Control (Loops)
Definition: Repeats a block of code multiple times.

For Loop While Loop

Repeats a known number of times. Repeats as long as a condition is true.


Example, Lets Print “Practice makes perfect” five times remind Example, While loop to print numbers from 1to 5
Over selves • The while loop will continue to execute as long as the
• range(5) generates numbers from 0 to 4 condition number <= 5 is true.

for i in range(5): number = 1


print("Practice makes perfect") while number <= 5:
print(number)
number += 1
4. Branching Control
Break Statement
Exits the loop immediately when a condition is met.

Continue Statement
Skips current iteration and moves to the next one.

Example

for i in range(10):
if i == 5:
break
print(i)
Summary

Sequential Conditional

Linear execution of instructions Decision-making based on conditions

Branching Iterative

Controlling flow within loops Repeating code multiple times

Practice using different control structures in simple programs to understand how they help in problem-solving.
