I. Conditional Statements
1) if

if condition : statement

or

if condition :
statement-1
statement-2
statement-3
If condition is true then statements will be executed.
Eg:

1) name=input("Enter
Name:")
2) if name=="durga" :
3) print("Hello Durga Good
Morning")are you!!!")
4) print("How
5)
6) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
7) Enter Name:durga
8) Hello Durga Good Morning
9) How are you!!!
10)
11) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
12) Enter Name:Ravi
13) How are you!!!

2) if-else:
if condition :
Action-1
else :
Action-2

if condition is true then Action-1 will be executed otherwise Action-2 will be executed.

Eg:

1) name=input("Enter Name:")
2) if name=="durga" :
3) print("Hello Durga Good Morning")
4) else:
5) print("Hello Guest Good Moring")
6) print("How are you!!!")
7)
8) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
9) Enter Name:durga
10) Hello Durga Good Morning
11) How are you!!!
12)
13) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
14) Enter Name:Ravi
15) Hello Guest Good Moring
16) How are you!!!
3) if-elif-else:
Syntax:

if condition1:
Action-1
elif condition2:
Action-2
elif condition3:
Action-3
elif condition4:
Action-4
...
else:
Default Action

Based condition the corresponding action will be

executed. Eg:

1) brand=input("Enter Your Favourite Brand:")

2) if brand=="Fruity" :
3) print("It is childrens brand")
4) elif brand=="Cocacola":
5) print("It is not that much kick")
6) elif brand=="Redbull":
7) print("Buy one get Free One")
8) else :
9) print("Other Brands are not recommended")
10)
11)
12) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
13) Enter Your Favourite Brand:Fruity
14) It is childrens brand
15)
16) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
17) Enter Your Favourite Brand:Cocacola
18) It is not that much kick
19)
20) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
21) Enter Your Favourite Brand:KALYANI
22) Other Brands are not recommended
Note:

1. else part is always optional

Hence the following are various possible syntaxes.
1. if
2. if - else
3. if-elif-else
4.if-elif

2. There is no switch statement in Python

II. Iterative Statements
If we want to execute a group of statements multiple times then we should
go for Iterative statements.

Python supports 2 types of iterative statements.

1. for loop
2. while loop

1) for loop:
If we want to execute some action for every element present in some sequence(it may be
string or collection)then we should go for for loop.

Syntax:

for x in sequence
: body

where sequence can be string or any collection.

Body will be executed for every element present in the

sequence. Eg 1: To print characters present in the given

string

1) s="KDN infotech"
2) for x in s :
3) print(x)
4)
Eg 2: To print characters present in string index wise:

1) s=input("Enter some String: ")

2) i=0
3) for x in s :
4) print("The character present at ",i,"index is :",x)
5) i=i+1
6)

Eg 3: To print Hello 10 times

1) for x in range(10) :
2) print("Hello")

Eg 4: To display numbers from 0 to 10

1) for x in range(11) :
2) print(x)

Eg 5: To display odd numbers from 0 to 20

1) for x in range(21) :
2) if (x%2!=0):
3) print(x)

Eg 6: To display numbers from 10 to 1 in descending order

1) for x in range(10,0,-1) :
2) print(x)
Eg 7: To print sum of numbers presenst inside list

1) list=eval(input("Enter List:"))
2) sum=0;
3) for x in list:
4) sum=sum+x;
5) print("The Sum=",sum)
6)
7) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
8) Enter List:[10,20,30,40]
9) The Sum= 100
10)
11) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
12) Enter List:[45,67]
13) The Sum= 112

2) while loop:
If we want to execute a group of statements iteratively until some condition false,then we
should go for while loop.

Syntax:

while condition
: body

Eg: To print numbers from 1 to 10 by using while loop

1) x=1
2) while x <=10:
3) print(x)
4) x=x+1

Eg: To display the sum of first n numbers

1) n=int(input("Enter number:"))
2) sum=0
3) i=1
While i<=n
5) sum=sum+i
6) i=i+1
7) print("The sum of first",n,"numbers is :",sum)
Eg: write a program to prompt user to enter some name until entering Durga

1) name=""
2) while name!="durga":
3) name=input("Enter Name:")
4) print("Thanks for confirmation")

Infinite Loops:
1) i=0;
2) while True :
3) i=i+1;

Nested Loops:
Sometimes we can take a loop inside another loop,which are also known as nested

loops. Eg:

1) for i in range(4):
2) for j in range(4):
3) print("i=",i," j=",j)
4)
5) Output
6) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
7) i= 0 j= 0
8) i= 0 j= 1
9) i= 0 j= 2
10) i= 0 j= 3
11) i= 1 j= 0
12) i= 1 j= 1
13) i= 1 j= 2
14) i= 1 j= 3
15) i= 2 j= 0
16) i= 2 j= 1
17) i= 2 j= 2
18) i= 2 j= 3
19) i= 3 j= 0
20) i= 3 j= 1
21) i= 3 j= 2
22) i= 3 j= 3
Q. Write a program to dispaly *'s in Right angled triangled form

1) *
2) * *
3) * * *
4) * * * *
5) * * * * *
6) * * * * * *
7) * * * * * * *
8)
9) n = int(input("Enter number of rows:"))
10) for i in range(1,n+1):
11) for j in range(1,i+1):
12) print("*",end="
")
13) print()

Alternative way:

1) n = int(input("Enter number of rows:"))

2) for i in range(1,n+1):
3) print("* " * i)

Q. Write a program to display *'s in pyramid style(also known as equivalent

triangle)

1) *
2) **
3) * * *
4) * * * *
5) * * * * *
6) * * * * * *
7) * * * * * * *
8)
9) n = int(input("Enter number of rows:"))
10) for i in range(1,n+1):
11) print(" " * (n-i),end="")
12) print("* "*i)
III. Transfer Statements
1) break:
We can use break statement inside loops to break loop execution based on
some condition.

Eg:

1) for i in
range(10):
2) if i==7:
3) print("processing is enough..plz break")
4) break
5) print(i)
6)
7) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
8) 0
9) 1
10)
2 3
11)
12)
4
13) 5
14)
6
15) processing is enough..plz break

Eg:

1) cart=[10,20,600,60,70]
2) for item in cart:
3) if item>500:
4) print("To place this order insurence must be
5) required")
break
6) print(item)
7)
8) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
9) 10
10) 20
11) To place this order insurence must be
required
2) continue:
We can use continue statement to skip current iteration and continue next

iteration. Eg 1: To print odd numbers in the range 0 to 9

Eg 2:

1) cart=[10,20,500,700,50,60]
2) for item in cart:
3) if item>=500:
4) print("We cannot process this item
5) :",item)
continue
6) print(item)
7)
8) Output
9) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
10) 10
11) 20
12) We cannot process this item : 500
13) We cannot process this item :
700 50
14)

15) 60
Eg 3:

1) numbers=[10,20,0,5,0,30]
2) for n in numbers:
3) if n==0:
4) print("Hey how we can divide with zero..just
5) skipping")
continue
6) print("100/{} = {}".format(n,100/n))
7)
 8) Output
9)
10) 100/10 = 10.0
11) 100/20 = 5.0
12) Hey how we can divide with zero..just skipping
13) 100/5 = 20.0
14) Hey how we can divide with zero..just skipping
15) 100/30 = 3.3333333333333335

loops with else block:

Inside loop execution,if break statement not executed ,then only else part will
be executed.

else means loop without

break Eg:

1) cart=[10,20,30,40,50]
2) for item in cart:
3) if item>=500:
4) print("We cannot process this order")
5) break
6) print(item)
7) else:
8) print("Congrats ...all items processed successfully")
9)
10) Output
11) 10
12) 20
13) 30
14) 40
15) 50
16) Congrats ...all items processed successfully

Eg:

1) cart=[10,20,600,30,40,50]
2) for item in cart:
3) if item>=500:
4) print("We cannot process this order")
5) break
6) print(item)
7) else:
8) print("Congrats ...all items processed successfully")
 9)
10) Output
11) D:\Python_classes>py test.py

13) 20
14) We cannot process this order

Q. What is the difference between for loop and while loop in Python?

Q. How to exit from the

loop?

Q. How to skip some iterations inside

loop?

Q. When else part will be executed wrt loops?

3) pass statement:
pass is a keyword in Python.

In our programming syntactically if block is required which won't do anything then we can
define that empty block with pass keyword.

pass
|- It is an empty statement
|- It is null statement
|- It won't do

anything Eg:

if True:
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

if True: pass
==>valid

def m1():
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing
def m1(): pass

use case of pass:

Sometimes in the parent class we have to declare a function with empty body and
child class responsible to provide proper implementation. Such type of empty
body we can define by using pass keyword. (It is something like abstract
method in java)

Eg:
def m1():

pass Eg:

1) for i in range(100):
2) if i%9==0:
3) print(i)
4) else:pass
5)
6) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
7) 0
8) 9
9) 18
10) 27
11) 36
12) 45
13) 54
14) 63
15) 72
16) 81
17) 90
18) 99

del statement:

del is a keyword in Python.

After using a variable, it is highly recommended to delete that variable if it is no longer

required,so that the corresponding object is eligible for Garbage Collection.
We can delete variable by using del

keyword. Eg:

1) x=10
2) print(x)
3) del x
After deleting a variable we cannot access that variable otherwise we will get NameError.

Eg:

1) x=10
2) del x
3) print(x)

NameError: name 'x' is not defined.

Note:
We can delete variables which are pointing to immutable objects.But we cannot delete
the elements present inside immutable object.

Eg:

1) s="durga"
2) print(s)
3) del s==>valid

Difference between del and None:

In the case del, the variable will be removed and we cannot access that variable(unbind
operation)

1) s="durga"
2) del s
3) print(s) ==>NameError: name 's' is not defined.

But in the case of None assignment the variable won't be removed but the corresponding
object is eligible for Garbage Collection(re bind operation). Hence after assigning with
None value,we can access that variable.

1) s="durga"
2) s=None
3) print(s) # None
