Overview

Welcome back to another exciting chapter in your Python programming adventure! Building on our previous exploration of loops with Python’s Turtle module (as seen in “Creative Coding: An Introduction to Loops in Python with Turtle”), we now focus on the foundational concept of conditional logic.

In this article, we’ll learn how to make decisions in your code using if-else statements. Our journey will take a creative turn, employing the charming Turtle module to demonstrate these concepts visually.

Additionally, we’ll venture into the territory of pattern matching, a more recent feature in Python, providing an intriguing comparison to traditional conditional structures. Let’s continue our coding journey with a fun, interactive project that brings these concepts to life!
