Conditional and Iterative Statements

Learning Objectives

• Implement decision logic with conditional statements.
• Use while/for loops effectively.
• Control loops with break/continue/pass and loop else.

Example

n = 7
if n % 2 == 0:
    print("Even")
else:
    print("Odd")

for i in range(1, 6):
    if i == 3:
        continue
    print(i)
else:
    print("Loop completed")

Dry Run

• Prints Odd
• Loop prints 1 2 4 5
• Executes loop else block.

Common Mistakes

• Infinite loops in while.
• Wrong indentation causing logic shift.

Practice

1. Print multiplication table using loop.
2. Break loop when user enters 0.
