Loops and Decision Tools |
This module will discuss tools that allow for branching based upon the input parameters and to complete repetitive processes. Commands such as If, While and For will be discussed in this context. No geoprocessing commands will be needed, so therefore loading arcpy is not required in the scripts, but will not change the results. This module will be completed inside the IDE in programming mode.
These types of functions provide the real power of using a scripting language verses doing the processes in a typically manual fashion. Remember, the concept is to reduce the manual and repetitive processes through the use of Python scripts. The If statement was introduced in the second module and those concepts will be expanded on in this lesson.
