Lesson Introduction: Combining Loops with Conditionals - The Power Duo

Greetings, student! Today, we're fusing Python loops and conditionals together. Conditionals empower our code to make decisions, while loops enable the execution of repetitive tasks. Let's master this synergy!

The Basics of Conditions in Loops

Loops, such as for and while, repeat specific tasks, and conditionals — if, elif, and else — guide the path of the code. Combining these constructs equips us with a virtual super robot that performs repeated tasks with decision-making abilities.

Let's consider sending personalized party invitations. In this context, loops go through each guest, and conditionals decide the style of the invitation:

This code prints:

Working with Conditionals in For Loops

Python’s For Loop iterates over a defined sequence of elements. When we pair a conditional with the loop, the execution adjusts with each iteration based on the condition.
