Python Loops and Conditional Statements

Introduction This project demonstrates the use of Python's core control flow features, including conditional statements (if, elif, else), the newer match-case statement, and looping constructs (for, while). It is designed to help beginners understand the logic behind program control, decision-making, and iteration in Python.

Code Overview The first section of the code covers conditional statements, starting with simple if-else blocks to compare values, followed by the use of elif for multiple condition checks. It also introduces the match-case statement—a modern feature in Python that allows for more readable branching logic. Examples include matching numeric values for days of the week and checking age categories. It even demonstrates advanced match-case usage with logical operators like | and expressions inside case.

The second section focuses on loops, including both while and for loops. It illustrates loop control using break and continue statements, and explores different looping scenarios such as iterating through strings, lists, and using while loops with list indexing. It ends with a practical use of match-case to check for the presence of an item in a list, combining conditional logic with data structures.

Conclusion This code provides a practical and beginner-friendly guide to Python’s decision-making and repetition tools. By combining real-world examples with clear syntax, it serves as a useful resource for anyone looking to build a solid foundation in Python programming. Whether you're studying control flow, learning how to use match-case, or practicing loops, this code offers a hands-on way to explore Python’s logical capabilities.
