🔁 05_Conditionals_Loops

Welcome to the Conditionals and Loops section!
This section teaches how to control the flow of your Python programs — making decisions and repeating actions automatically.
These are the core building blocks for logic, automation, games, and interactive applications.

---

📘 Overview

In this section, you will learn:

• How to use if, elif, and else statements for decision-making.
• The role of the match-case statement (introduced in Python 3.10) for cleaner multi-condition checks.
• How to create loops using while and for statements.
• How to control loop behavior using break, continue, and pass.
• How to practice and test your understanding with exercises and challenges.

📂 Files Description

File Name	Description
01_if_elif_else_ladder.py	Demonstrates how to handle multiple conditions using the if-elif-else ladder structure.
02_match_case.py	Introduces the match-case statement (Python 3.10+) as a clean alternative to long if-elif chains.
03_while_loop.py	Covers the basics of while loops, including counters and conditions.
04_loop.py	Explains how loops work conceptually and automate repetitive tasks.
05_for_loop.py	Shows how for loops iterate over sequences like lists, strings, and ranges.
06_break_continue_statement.py	Explains how break exits a loop early and continue skips an iteration.
07_pass_statement.py	Describes the pass keyword as a placeholder in loops or conditionals.

🧠 Example Programs

# If-Elif-Else Ladder Example
marks = 85
if marks >= 90:
    print("Grade: A+")
elif marks >= 80:
    print("Grade: A")
elif marks >= 70:
    print("Grade: B")
else:
    print("Keep improving!")

# Match-Case Example (Python 3.10+)
choice = 2
match choice:
    case 1:
        print("You chose Option 1")
    case 2:
        print("You chose Option 2")
    case _:
        print("Invalid choice")

# While Loop Example
count = 0
while count < 3:
    print("Count is:", count)
    count += 1

# For Loop Example with break and continue
for i in range(1, 6):
    if i == 3:
        continue  # Skip number 3
    if i == 5:
        break     # Stop the loop at 5
    print("Number:", i)

🧩 Practice Scripts

The practice_scripts folder includes small projects and logic-building challenges related to conditionals and loops.

Example Challenges:

• Check whether a number is even or odd.
• Find the largest of three numbers using if-elif-else.
• Print multiplication tables using for loops.
• Generate simple patterns using nested loops.
• Create a countdown or menu-driven program using while loops.
