Question

The heart of programming is using if statements and looping. Search online to find differences in Python branching (decision) and repetition (looping) statements compared to other languages such as C++ and Java. Share your findings and your experiences learning selection and loops last week and this week of learning Python control structures. Give your citations.

Step 1

Some of the key differences between python's branching and repetition statements compared to other languages such as C++ and java are

1) In Python does not use curly braces to delimit the blocks of code as C++ and java do.

2) Pythons does not have traditional "for" loops like C++ and java. Instead, Python has a "For" loop that is more like a "foreach" loop in the other languages.

For example, 

In java "for" loop lets you loop that breaks when a condition is met.

for(initialization; condition; increment){

// do something

}

The condition part will be considered true.

But in python "for" loop lets you loop over an iterator instead of a condition.

for value in  list:

# do something

and it can take any forms

for i in range(100):

# run 100 times
