Experiment #5: Loops

What is Loop?

A loop can be used to tell a program to execute statements repeatedly. In other words, A loop statement allows us to execute a statement or block of statements multiple times. Python provides two types of loop statements: while loops and for loops.

The while Loop

A while loop executes statements repeatedly as long as a condition remains true. while loop is a condition-controlled loop, it is controlled by a true/false condition. It tests the condition before executing the loop body The syntax for the while loop is: while loop-continuation-condition:

# Loop body Statement(s) Remember: All the statements indented by the same number of character spaces after a programming construct are considered to be part of a single block of code. Here is the flowchart for while loop:

Experiment #5: Loops

The following example prints "Hi Python!" 100 times to the console.

count = 0 while count < 100:

print("Hi Python!") count = count + 1 print("Done!")

When the condition is tested and the result is false, the loop body will be skipped and the first statement after the while loop will be executed.

Ex: Write a Python program that prints the numbers from 0 to 9.

count = 0 while count < 10:

print(count) count = count + 1 print("Done!") print(count) # prints 10

Ex: Write a Python program that prints the sum of numbers from 1 to 20.

sum = 0 i = 1 while i = 100: break

print("The number is", number) print("The sum is", sum)

The output is:

The number is 14

The sum is 105

continue Statement

You can use the continue keyword in a loop skip all the remaining statements in the current iteration. When it is encountered, it ends the current iteration and program control goes to the
