Python Control Statements
Python control statements alter a program’s normal sequence. They are fundamental to the programming language, allowing programmers to control the flow of the program’s execution based on certain conditions or the occurrence of specific events.
Types of Control Statements
The main types of control statements in Python are as follows:
- if statement
- if-else statement
- for loop
- while loop
- break statement
- continue statement
- pass statement

Description |
| break | The break statement terminates the loop’s current execution and transfers control to the statement instantly following the loop’s block. |
| continue | The continue statement transfers the control to the beginning of the loop by skipping the rest of the following statements in the current iteration. The loop does not terminate but continues on with the next iteration. |
| pass | The pass statement represents a null operation, which means nothing happens when it executes. It is used when a statement is required syntactically rather than executing any command or code.
The pass statement is useful in places where your code will eventually go but has not been implemented or written yet. |
The control statements are essential for creating complex logic in Python programs.
