SY 2020-2021 3rd Term

CS001L Computer Fundamentals and Programming 1
Laboratory
 Objectives
After completing this lesson, students will be able
to:

➢Effectively use if statements for selection control.

➢Explain the use of indentation.
➢Effectively implement multi-way selection in
Python.
Selection Control
A selection control statement is a control
statement providing selective execution of
instructions.
A selection control structure is a given set of
instructions and the selection control
statement(s)
controlling their execution.
If Statement
An if statement is a selection control
statement based on the value of a
given Boolean expression.
Statements that contain other
statements are referred to as a
compound statement.

Multi-Way Selection

If statements can be nested in Python,

resulting in multi-way selection.
