For Loop
▰ A for loop is used for iterating over a sequence (that is either a list, a tuple, a dictionary, a set,
or a string).
▰ Example: Print each fruit in a fruit list:
6
Looping Through a String
➢ Even strings are iterable objects, they contain a sequence of characters:
➢ Example: Loop through the letters in the word "banana":
7
Looping Through Range
➢ To loop through a set of code a specified number of times, we can use the range() function,
➢ The range() function returns a sequence of numbers, starting from 0 by default, and
increments by 1 (by default), and ends at a specified number.
➢ Example: Loop through the range of 10 (means from 0 to 9)
8
Looping Through Range
➢ The range( ) function defaults to 0 as a starting value, however it is possible to specify the
starting value by adding a parameter: range(3, 9), which means values from 3 to 9 (but not
including 9):
9
Example:
➢ Use function multiply to product all numbers from (1 to 10) by using for loop.
10
Example:
➢ Create empty list, with name “cube” then add values between 0 and 10 and each value is
raised to the power of three values using for loop.
11
Looping Through Range
➢ The range() function defaults to increment the sequence by 1, however it is possible to
specify the increment value by adding a third parameter: range(2, 30, 3):
➢ Example: Increment the sequence with 3 (default is 1):
12
Using len( )
➢ Len( ) is a function that used for computing length of string or length of list as example
13
Using len( ) with Range For Loop

Using len( ) with Range For Loop
To print the index of list using range ( ) and len ( ) in for loop
15
Else in For Loop
➢ The else keyword in a for loop specifies a block of code to be executed when the loop is
finished:
➢ Example: Print all numbers from 0 to 5, and print a message when the loop has ended:
16
Using for loop to print even and odd number
To print the even and odd numbers
17
Else in For Loop
➢ The else keyword in a for loop specifies a block of code to be executed when the loop is
finished:
➢ Example: Print all numbers from 0 to 5, and print a message when the loop has ended:
18
Else in For Loop
➢ Note: The else block will NOT be executed if the loop is stopped by a break statement.
➢ Example: Break the loop when x is 3, and see what happens with the else block:
19
Else in For Loop
➢ Note: The else block will NOT be executed if the loop is stopped by a break statement.
➢ Example: Break the loop when x is Dalia, and see what happens with the else block:
20
Example
To search for an index in the list
21
The break Statement
➢ With the break statement we can stop the loop before it has looped through all the items:
➢ Example: Exit the loop when x is "banana":
22
The break Statement
➢ Exit the loop when x is "banana", but this time the break comes before the print:
23
Nested Loops
➢ A nested loop is a loop inside a loop.
➢ The "inner loop" will be executed one time for each iteration of the "outer loop":
➢ Example: Print each adjective for every fruit:
24
The pass Statement
➢ for loops cannot be empty, but if you for some reason have a for loop with no content, put
in the pass statement to avoid getting an error.
25
The continue Statement
➢ With the continue statement we can stop the current iteration of the loop, and continue
with the next:
➢ Example: Do not print banana:
