Python Loops and Conditionals Tutorial

Loops

Loops are one of the most fundamental control structures in programming. They allow a block of code to be repeated multiple times. Python has two types of loops: for and while.

For Loop

The for loop is used to iterate over a sequence (list, tuple, dictionary, set, string) or any other iterable object.

Iterating over a list

for i in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]:
    print(i)  # Prints numbers from 1 to 5

While Loop

The while loop allows the execution of a group of instructions as long as a condition is met (i.e., as long as the condition evaluates to True).

# Example of using the while loop
i = 1
while i <= 5:
    print(i)  # Prints numbers from 1 to 5
    i += 1

Conditionals

Conditionals allow us to check conditions and make our program behave one way or another, according to the results of these conditions.

If, Elif, Else

In Python, the syntax for conditionals is through the reserved words if, elif (else if), and else.

age = 20
if age < 18:
    print("You are underage.")
elif age >= 18 and age < 65:
    print("You are an adult.")
else:
    print("You are a senior.")

This is a very basic rundown of loops and conditionals in Python. There is much more you can do with them, including nesting loops and conditionals, using break and continue in loops, among other things. However, I hope this gives you a solid foundation upon which you can build.

@xbz-24 Although obviously GPT generated, I appreciate the willingness to help.

This issue refers to control flow with Flyde, of course. If you want to learn more about Flyde and try giving a shot at this, I'd love to guide you through it!

@GabiGrin I already have the extension, look what I get when I do new visual flow :

Awesome! Perhaps this issue #8 can help

Weird! what is your setup?

m1 mac :( should I try with linux mint

I'm on a m1 mac too :) works great
the error you're seeing means something pretty basic broke, as the commands failed to register

Can you try looking for an error in the VSCode developer tools and then reloading VSCode and looking for related errors?
