Build logic into your code with control flow tools! Learn about conditional statements, repeating code with loops and useful built-in functions, and list comprehensions.
“For loops” are an example of definite iteration, meaning that the loop’s body is run a predefined number of times. A “for loop” over a list, executes the body once for each element in the list. A “for loop” using the range function will execute the number of times specified by the range function. This … Read more
Now that you’ve learned about conditional statements, let’s move on to loops, which allow us to repeat blocks of code. Python has two kinds, for loops and while loops. Let’s first take a look at the for loop, which we can use to iterate over an iterable. An iterable is an object that can return … Read more
So far, the conditions we’ve used were Boolean expressions that evaluate to a Boolean object, either true or false. If we put some other object that is not a Boolean in the IF statement, Python will check for its truth value and use that to decide whether or not to run the indented code. Here, … Read more
We’ll go over some good and bad examples of Boolean expressions used in if statements. While true is a valid Boolean expression, it’s not exactly useful as a condition as it always evaluates to true. So the intended code will always get run. Similarly, if false is not a condition you should run either, the … Read more
All the if and elif statements we’ve seen so far have been followed by a single Boolean expression that checks only one condition. However, more complicated Boolean expressions can be useful as well. If the condition is working with the numerical variable, you might want to check whether a value lies in a certain range … Read more
As you have just seen, indentation is important. It’s how we tell Python what code is in the body of an if statement, and what code is outside of it. Indentation doesn’t just matter in if statements. Soon, you’ll see it used in other contexts. Some other languages use braces to show where blocks of … Read more
Now you know how to execute a block of code if a condition is true. But what if you have a different block of code that you want to execute when that condition is false? You can use the ‘else’ keyword to do so. Consider this code, which prints a message indicating whether an integer … Read more
We’ve been running code that simply executes every line one by one from the top down. Many times however, we want to run code only if a particular condition holds. To demonstrate this concept, let’s take a look at this billing system for a pay-as-you-go mobile phone. Say a customer has a credit balance for … Read more
Congratulations on completing this lesson on Control Flow. You learned how to use conditional statements, loops, useful built-in functions, and list comprehensions to add more functionality to your code. Next, you’ll learn how to organize your code into functions. Great job.
In Python, you can create lists really quickly and concisely with a cool tool called List Comprehensions. In the cities example from earlier, we created a list of capitalized cities from the cities list in a for loop. With a list comprehension, we can get the same result like this. List comprehensions allow us to … Read more
Looking back at our list of cargo, notice each element is a tuple of size two. Iterating through a list with multiple values, can be pretty helpful. It’s actually really easy to combine and split lists like this. If we originally started, with these two separate lists, items and weights, and wanted to combine them … Read more
For loops iterate over every element in a sequence, and while loops iterate until they’re stopping condition is met. This is sufficient for most purposes but we sometimes need more precise control over when a loop should end. In these cases, we use the break keyword. A loop will terminate immediately if it encounters a … Read more
Welcome to this lesson on Control Flow. Here, you’ll learn how to add more functionality to your code by being able to use conditional statements and loops. You’ll learn how to implement decision-making with if statements, repeat code with for and while loops, exit or skip loops with break and continue, use helpful built-in functions … Read more

Quiz: Zip Coordinates Use zip to write a for loop that creates a string specifying the label and coordinates of each point and appends it to the list points. Each string should be formatted as label: x, y, z. For example, the string for the first coordinate should be F: 23, 677, 4. Quiz: Zip Lists to a Dictionary Use zip to create a … Read more
