While Loops

1. What is a Loop?

A loop is used to repeat instructions many times in Python. Instead of writing


the same code again and again, we use loops.

2. While Loop

A while loop repeats code as long as a condition is true.

Syntax:

while condition:
instructions

Example 1: Counting from 1 to 5

i=1
while i <= 5:
print(i)
i += 1

3. Important Rule

If you forget to increase the number, the loop will run forever (infinite loop).

4. Break Statement

Used to stop the loop early.

Example:
i=1
while i <= 10:
print(i)
if i == 5:
break
i += 1

5. Continue Statement

Skips the current step of the loop.


Example:
i=0
while i < 5:
i += 1
if i == 3:
continue
print(i)

6. Practice Exercises
1. 1. Create a variable i with the value 0
2. Write a while loop that runs as long as iis less than 6
3. Inside the loop: increment i by 1
4. If i equals 3, use continue to skip that iteration
5. Print i
Solution
CodeSolution
# Create the i variable
i=0

# While loop: print 1-5, skip 3 with continue


while i < 6:
i += 1
if i == 3:
continue
print(i)
