3. •Decision making is anticipation of conditions occurring while execution of the
program and specifying actions taken according to the conditions.
•Decision structures evaluate multiple expressions which produce TRUE or FALSE as
outcome.
•Decision-making statements in programming languages decide the direction(Control
Flow) of the flow of program execution.
•Python programming language assumes anynon-zeroandnon-nullvalues as TRUE,
and if it is eitherzeroornull, then it is assumed as FALSE value.

4. Types of Control Flow in Python
InPython programming language,
the type of control flow statements are as follows:
1.The if statement
2.The if-else statement
3.The nested-if statement
4.The if-elif-else ladder

5. Python programming language provides following types of decision making
statements

6. ❖if statement
The if statement is the most simple decision-making statement. It is used to decide
whether a certain statement or block of statements will be executed or not.

7. ❖if statement
•Here, the condition after evaluation will be either true or false. if the statement
accepts boolean values
•– if the value is true then it will execute the block of statements below it
otherwise not.
•As we know, python uses indentation to identify a block. So the block under an if
statement will be identified as shown in the below example:

11. ❖if-else statement
•The if statement alone tells us that if a condition is true it will execute a block of
statements and if the condition is false it won’t.
•But if we want to do something else if the condition is false, we can use
theelsestatement withifstatement to execute a block of code when the if condition
is false.

14. ❖nested-if statement
•A nested if is an if statement that is the target of another if statement.
•Nested if statements mean an if statement inside another if statement.
•Yes, Python allows us to nest if statements within if statements. i.e, we can
place an if statement inside another if statement.

18. ❖if-elif-else ladder
•Here, a user can decide among multiple options. The if
statements are executed from the top down. As soon as
one of the conditions controlling the if is true, the
statement associated with that if is executed, and the
rest of the ladder is bypassed.
•If none of the conditions is true, then the final else
statement will be executed.
