Conditional and looping statements control the flow of execution in Python programs:

• Conditional Statements:
  • if, elif, and else statements allow branching in code based on conditions.
  • Nested and chained conditionals add complexity, enabling decision-making within programs.
• Looping Statements:
  • For Loops: Used to iterate over sequences like lists, tuples, or strings.
  • While Loops: Repeats as long as a specified condition is True.
  • Break and Continue Statements: Control loop execution by stopping (break) or skipping (continue) iterations based on specific criteria.

Mastering these statements helps students build logical, efficient code and is crucial for programming tasks requiring repetitive operations.
