Other than storing data, programming languages like Python® execute logical processes in order to determine what to do in a program. Conditional statements and loops are the primary ways that you can control the logical flow of a program, and they are found in nearly all Python-developed software. In this lesson, you'll take advantage of both to produce a more complex application.

Object-oriented languages excel at giving programmers the tools they need to make coding easier. Reusing code not only enables you to develop at a quicker pace, but it also makes your source code more readable. Inefficient and ugly code is incredibly difficult to maintain, so you'll leverage Python's built-in reusable objects to avoid this pitfall.
