if condition:	condicional statement	if health <= 0: die() elif health < 20: play_low_health_effect() else: play_normal_animation()
for i in range(n):	loop n times	for i in range(5): spawn_enemy() for i in range(10, 20): print(i)
for item in array:	Iterate over array	for enemy in enemies: enemy.update() for key in dictionary: print(key, dictionary[key])
while condition:	while loop	while is_alive: update() await get_tree().process_frame
match value:	Pattern matching (switch statement)	match state: "idle": idle_behavior() "running": run_behavior() _: print("Unknown state")
break	exit loop early	for i in range(100): if found: break
continute	Skip to next iteration	for enemy in enemies: if enemy.is_dead: continue enemy.attack()
