Python Loops: PFE610S NUST 2019

The document discusses different types of loops in Python including while loops, for-in loops, and nested loops. While loops iterate over an unknown number of iterations using a control sequence. For-in loops iterate over a known number of items in a sequence. Additional loop controls like break, continue, and else are also covered. Nested loops allow loops within other loops to iterate multiple times.

Python Loops

NUST 2019
Python Loops

• While loop
– To iterate over an undefined or unknown number
of iterations
– Requires a control sequence
• For-in loop
– Iterates over items for a known or predetermined
number of iterations

The while loop

The syntax:
while conditional_expression:
Body (statement(s))
The while loop example
i=0
while i < 5:
print(“The count is {}”.format(i))
i +=1
OR

i=0
while i != 10:
print(“The count is {}”.format(i))
i +=1
The for-in loop

The syntax:
for item in sequence:
Body (statement(s))
The for-in loop example

OR
Additional loops controls
The loop control break example

Note:
The break statement
breaks out of the
inner most loop.
The loop control continue example

Note:
The continues statement skips the
remaining statement of the loop and
continues the next iteration.
The loop control else example

Note:
The else block is optional and is executed if
the loop exits normally without encountering
a break statement.
Nested loops
• We can have a loops within a loop
• e.g to print the pattern of 4 by 4 stars shown below.

• The loop code below can be used.

Syntax of a nested for loop: Syntax of a nested while loop:

for item in sequence: while expression:
Body (statement(s)) Body (statement(s))
statement(s) statement(s)
