In Part III, we study Python's procedural statement
set: statements that select from alternative actions, repeat
operations, print objects, and so on. Since this is our first formal
look at statements, we will also explore Python's
general syntax model. As we'll see, Python has a
familiar and simple syntax model, though we often type much less in
Python statements than in some other languages.
We'll also meet the boolean expressions in
conjunction with conditional statements and loops, and learn about
Python documentation schemes while studying the syntax of
documentation strings and comments. At an abstract level, the
statements we'll meet here are used to create and
process the objects in Part II. By the end of
this part, you will be able to code and run substantial Python
program logic.
