5. Algorithm Constructs

   • Iteration
     • Iteration in Python means processing items one by one from a collection, typically using loops like for or while, to repeatedly do something. It applies to any object such as lists, strings, tuples, sets, or dictionaries.
       • while X, do Y
   • Selection and Condition
     • Selection and condition in python are expressions to evaluate to things either true or false using comparison or logical operators
       • While true, do X
   • Assignment
     • In Python, an assignment is the operation of attaching a value to a variable using the = operator, where the expression on the right is evaluated and its result is stored in the variable on the left.
       • if X == Y
   • Sequence
     • In Python, a sequence is a positionally ordered collection of items that can be accessed by their index, starting at 0.

6. Coding Constructs

   • If Statements
     • An if statement is a tool that lets python go through items through certain conditions in order to be ran
       • if X does Y, do Z
   • For Loops
     • A for loop is a basic tool that lets Python go through items one by one and run the same code for each item automatically.
       • Loop N until C
