Basic Loop Structures in Python

The document explains basic loop structures in Python, specifically focusing on while loops and for loops. While loops repeat statements as long as a specified condition is true, while for loops iterate over a sequence of objects for a predetermined number of times. Syntax and examples for both loop types are provided to illustrate their usage.

BASIC LOOP STRUCTURES

 Python Supports basic loop structures through iterative

statements.

 Iterative statements are decision control statements that are used

to repeat the execution of a list of statements.

 Python language supports two types of iterative statement.


WHILE LOOP
 The while loop provides a mechanism to repeat one or more
statements while a particular condition is True.

 In python, While loop is used to execute a block of statements


repeatedly until the given condition is satisfied.

 And when the condition becomes false, the line immediately after
the loop in the program is executed.
Syntax of While Loop

statement x
while (condition):
statement block
statement y
 Condition An expression that evaluates to
True or False
 The loop runs while the condition is True.
 When the condition becomes False, the loop stops.
True
False
EXAMPLE
i=1 x = 10
while (i<=5): while (x>0):
print(i) print(x)
i += 1 x -= 2

OUTPUT OUTPUT
1 10
2 8
3 6
4 4
5 2
FOR LOOP
 The For loop is usually known as a determinate or definite loop because
the programmer knows exactly how many times the loop will repeat.

 The number of times the loop has to be executed can be determined


mathematically checking the logic of the loop.

 The „for…in‟ statement is a looping statement used in python to iterate


over a sequence of objects.
Syntax of For Loop

for variable in sequence:


statement block
 Variable Gets each value from the sequence one by
one

 Sequence A collection [ range, list, string, etc….]

 The code block inside the loop runs once for each item in
the sequence.
EXAMPLE
For loop using range()

for i in range(5): for x in range(1,6):


print(i,end = “ “) print(x,end=“\t“)

OUTPUT OUTPUT
0 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 5
For loop using range()

for y in range(2,10,2):
print(“NUMBER:”,y)

OUTPUT
NUMBER: 2
NUMBER: 4
NUMBER: 6
NUMBER: 8
For loop Through a List For loop Through a String
for letter in “python”:
fruits=[“Apple”,“Banana”,“Cherry”]
print (letter)
for x in fruits:
print(x)
OUTPUT
p
y
OUTPUT
t
Apple
h
Banana
Cherry o
n
