While the loop Syntax:
while expression: statement (s)
In Python, all statements indented by the same number of character spaces after the code construct are considered part of the same block of code. Python uses indentation as its method of grouping statements.
# prints Hello Geek 3 times count = 0 while (count " 3 ): count = count + 1 print ( "Hello Geek" ) |
Output:
Hello Geek Hello Geek Hello Geek
See this is for an example where a while loop is used for iterators. As mentioned in the article, it is not recommended to use a while loop for iterators in python.
For in a loop In Python there is no C style for loop, i.e. for (i = 0; i "n; i ++). There is a for loop that looks like
for iterator_var in sequence: statements (s) It can be used to iterate over iterators and range.
# Loop through the list print ( " List Iteration " ) l = [ " geeks " , "for" , "geeks" ] for i in l: print (i) # Iterate over a tuple (immutable) print ( "Tuple Iteration" ) t = ( "geeks" , "for" , " geeks " ) for i in t: print (i) # Iterate over the line print ( "String Iteration" ) s = "Geeks" for i in s: print (i) # Looping through the dictionary print ( "Dictionary Iteration" ) d = dict () d [ ’xyz’ ] = 123 d [ ’abc’ ] = 345 for i in d: print ( "% s % d" % (i, d [i])) |
Output:
List Iteration geeks for geeks Tuple Iteration geeks for geeks String Iteration G eeks Dictionary Iteration xyz 123 abc 345
We can use an in loop for custom iterators. See for iterator_var in sequence: for iterator_var in sequence: statements (s) statements (s) The syntax for a nested while statement in the Python programming language is as follows :
while expression: while expression: statement (s) statement (s)
The final note about nesting loops is that we can put any type of loop inside any other type of loop ... For example, a for loop can be inside a while loop or vice versa.
from __ future__ import print_function for i in range ( 1 , 5 ): for j in range (i): print (i, end = ’’ ) print ( ) |
Output:
1 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 4
Loop control statements Loop control statements change execution from its normal sequence. When execution leaves a scope, all automatic objects created in that scope are destroyed. Python supports the following control statements.
Continue Statement
Returns the control to the beginning of the loop.
# Prints all letters except & # 39; e & # 39; and & # 39; s & # 39; for letter in ’pythonengineering’ : if letter = = ’e’ or letter = = ’s’ : continue print ’ Current Letter: ’ , letter var = 10 |
Exit:
Current Letter: g Current Letter: k Current Letter: f Current Letter: o Current Letter: r Current Letter: g Current Letter: k
Break Statement
This brings control out of the loop
for letter in ’pythonengineering’ : # break the loop as soon as it sees" e " # or & # 39; s & # 39; if letter = = ’e’ or letter = = ’s’ : break print ’Current Letter:’ , letter |
Logout:
Current Letter: e
Pass Application
We use the pass statement to write empty loops. Pass is also used for empty control statement, function and classes.
# Empty loop for letter in ’ pythonengineering’ : pass print ’Last Letter:’ , letter |
Output:
Last Letter: s
