In this post I´ll explain the missing loops, those are: elif, while and for. So let´s get started.

This is the flowchart of an elif

this is how it works

and here is one example

Important information about elif:

The elif is short for else if.It allows us to check for multiple expressions.
If the condition for if is False, it checks the condition of the next elif block and so on.
If all the conditions are False, body of else is executed.
Only one block among the several if…elif…else blocks is executed according to the condition.
The if block can have only one else block. But it can have multiple elif blocks.

The flowchart of a for is like it follows:

This is the basic structure:

val is a certain value or ‘conditional’

Here is one example

Important information about for´s:

The for statement in Python has the ability to iterate over the items of any sequence, such as a list or a string.
If a sequence contains an expression list, it is evaluated first. Then, the first item in the sequence is assigned to the iterating variable iterating_var. Next, the statements block is executed. Each item in the list is assigned to iterating_var, and the statement(s) block is executed until the entire sequence is exhausted.

The flowchart of a while is this

This is the structure of a while

One example of while
