# Control Flow Statements

A program’s control flow is the order in which the program’s code executes.

The control flow of a Python program is regulated by conditional statements, loops, and function calls.

This section covers the `if` statement and the `for` and `while` loops. Functions are covered later.

## Topics

* `if`, `elif`, and `else`
