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.
