What We Covered

  • Control flow structures and how Python executes code conditionally
  • Comparison operators and how they evaluate to True or False
  • The if, elif, and else statements for decision-making
  • Logical operators: and, or, and not
  • Combining conditions to write complex decision logic

Key Takeaways

Lesson Summary

ConceptKey Point
if statementExecutes code only when condition is True
elifChecks an additional condition if the previous one was False
elseRuns when no previous condition was True
andBoth conditions must be True
orAt least one condition must be True
notFlips a Boolean value

With conditionals and logical operators in your toolkit, you can now write Python programs that make real decisions. Keep practicing — the more you code, the more natural these concepts will become!
