What is a Subscript Expression?

• A subscript expression refers to accessing

elements in a collection or data structure using an

index or key.

• Found in arrays, lists, tuples, strings,

dictionaries, etc.

• Helps in retrieving, modifying, or assigning

values.

Example (Python):

my_list = [10, 20, 30]

print(my_list[1]) # Output: 20
Syntax of Subscript Expressions

• General Syntax: collection[index]

• Index can be:

• An integer (for lists/arrays)

• A key (for dictionaries)

• A string index (for string characters)

Example (Dictionary):

student = {"name": "John", "age": 20}

print(student["name"]) # Output: John

Slide 5: Common Data Structures Using Subscripts


• List/Array: list[index]

• Tuple: tuple[index]

• String: string[index]

• Dictionary (Python): dict[key]

• 2D List or Matrix: matrix[row][column]

What are Control Statements?

• Statements that control the flow of execution

in a program.

• Determine when and how blocks of code are

executed.

Three Major Types:


1. Conditional Statements

2. Looping Statements

3. Jump Statements

Conditional Statements

Used to execute code only if certain conditions are

true.

Examples:

• if

• if...else

• if...elif...else

Python Example:

x = 10

if x > 5:
print("x is greater than 5")

Looping Statements

Used to repeat a block of code.

Types:

• for loop

• while loop

Python Example:

for i in range(3):

print(i)

Jump Statements
Used to control loop execution.

Types:

• break – exits loop

• continue – skips iteration

• pass – placeholder for future code

Python Example:

for i in range(5):

if i == 3:

break

print(i)

Using Subscript in Control Statements


Subscript expressions are often used inside control

statements for dynamic behavior.

Example:

names = ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"]

for i in range(len(names)):

if names[i] == "Bob":

print("Found Bob")

Example – Search with Subscript + Control

Goal: Search for a value in a list.

numbers = [3, 7, 1, 9, 5]
target = 9

for i in range(len(numbers)):

if numbers[i] == target:

print("Found at index:", i)

break

Real-world Applications

• Data Analysis: Iterating over rows and

columns in data tables

• Web Development: Accessing form values or

API responses

• Game Development: Checking game board or

player status
• AI/ML: Working with tensors and matrices

Summary
• Subscript expressions allow accessing
elements via indices or keys
• Control statements manage the logical flow
of programs
• Used together, they allow powerful data
handling and program logic
