LOOPS IN PYTHON

7.1 for Loop


The for loop is used to iterate over a sequence such as a list, string, or range.

Syntax:

for variable in sequence:


statement(s)

Example 1: Using range()

for i in range(1, 6):


print(i)

Example 2: Loop through a list

names = ["Ali", "Sara", "Ahmed"]


for name in names:
print(name)

7.2 while Loop


The while loop executes a block of code as long as the condition remains True.

Syntax:

while condition:
statement(s)

Example:

i = 1
while i <= 5:

1
print(i)
i += 1

Important Point: - Ensure the condition eventually becomes False to avoid an infinite loop

7.3 continue vs break

break Statement

The break statement is used to exit the loop immediately.

Example:

for i in range(1, 10):


if i == 5:
break
print(i)

continue Statement

The continue statement skips the current iteration and moves to the next one.

Example:

for i in range(1, 6):


if i == 3:
continue
print(i)

7.4 Exercise
1. Write a program to print numbers from 1 to 10 using a for loop.
2. Write a program to print even numbers from 1 to 20 using a while loop.
3. Write a program to display the sum of first 10 natural numbers.
4. Write a program that stops the loop when the number 5 is found.
5. Write a program that skips printing number 3 using continue.
6. Differentiate between for loop and while loop.
