description	Explain Cairo control flow with `if`, `else`, `loop`, `while`, `for`, `break`, and `continue`; use when a request involves conditionals, loops, or loop return values in Cairo.

Cairo Control Flow

Overview

Explain Cairo conditional logic and loops with correct syntax and typing rules.

Quick Use

• Read references/control-flow.md before answering.
• Show short examples of if expressions and each loop type (loop, while, for).
• Emphasize that if conditions must be bool and that loop can return a value with break.

Response Checklist

• Ensure if conditions are boolean and branches return the same type when used as an expression.
• Pick the right loop: loop for indefinite repetition, while for condition-based, for for ranges/iterators.
• Mention break/continue and break value when returning from a loop.

Example Requests

• "Why can't I use an integer as an if condition in Cairo?"
• "How do I return a value from a loop?"
• "How do I write a for loop over a range?"
