Control Flows, Functions, and Logic

Overview

In this session, we will dive into three essential programming concepts that bring logic and structure to our code: - Control Flows (making decisions and loops) - Functions (creating reusable blocks of code) - Logic (applying conditions and reasoning)

What We'll Cover

Control Flow:

• if, elif, else statements
• Looping with for and while
• Breaking and continuing loops (break, continue)

Functions:

• Defining and calling functions
• Parameters and return values
• Scope of variables (local vs global)

Logic:

• Using logical operators: and, or, not
• Writing conditional expressions
• Building decision-making programs

Objectives

By the end of the session, participants will: - Understand how to control the flow of a program based on conditions - Be able to define and use functions to organize code - Apply logic to solve real programming problems

Tools & Resources

• Python (IDLE, Replit, or any preferred IDE)
• Interactive coding examples
• Printed or shared syntax cheat sheets
• Live Q&A and peer collaboration

Pro Tip

Come prepared with your laptop and a curious mind!
We’ll be coding together and exploring how to make programs that can think and respond intelligently.
