90. How do you implement a nested loop in Python?

a) By placing one loop inside another loop
b) By placing one function inside another function
c) By using indentation
d) By using a break statement

Two marks and Five Marks Questions

1. Explain selection statement with example.

If the condition is true, then the indented statement(s) are executed. The indentation implies that
its execution is dependent on the condition. There is no limit on the number of statements that
can appear as a block under the if statement.

The syntax of if statement is:

if condition:
statement(s)

Example
age = int(input("Enter your age "))
if age >= 18:
print("Eligible to vote")

2. Explain if..else selection statement with example.

if..else statement allows us to write two alternative paths and the control condition determines
which path gets executed.
The syntax for if..else statement is as follows.
if condition:
statement(s)
else:
statement(s)

Example
age = int(input("Enter your age: "))
if age >= 18:
print("Eligible to vote")
else:
print("Not eligible to vote")

3. Explain if..elif selection statement with example.

When it require multiple conditions to be checked in such cases we can chain the conditions
using if..elif .
If the first condition is false, then the next condition is checked, and so on. If one of the
conditions is true, then the corresponding indented block executes, and the if statement

10
terminates.

The syntax for if..elif statement is as follows.

if condition:
statement(s)
elif condition:
statement(s)
elif condition:
statement(s)
else:
statement(s)

Example: # Check whether a number is positive, negative, or zero.

number = int(input("Enter a number: ")
if number > 0:
print("Number is positive")
elif number < 0:
print("Number is negative")
else:
print("Number is zero")

4. What is the difference between else and elif construct of if statement?

else means that if one alternative is true, the other alternatives must be false. It can be used only
once after if.
Use elif statements is possible for more than one alternative to be true simultaneously. There can
be more than one elif.

5. Explain ‘For’ Loop with syntax and example

The control variable checks whether each of the values in the range have been traversed or not.
When all the items in the range are exhausted, the statements within loop are not executed, the
control is then transferred to the statement immediately following the for loop.

Syntax of the For Loop

for <control-variable> in <sequence/items in

range>:
<statements inside body of the loop>

Example
#Print the characters in word PYTHON using
for loop
for letter in 'PYTHON':
print(letter)

11
6. What is the purpose of range() function? Give one example.
It is used to create a list containing a sequence of integers from the given start value upto stop
value excluding stop value.
The syntax for range function:
range([start], stop[, step])
By default the list starts from 0. by default the value increases by 1 in each iteration

Example
print(list(range(10))
Print(list(range(0,10))
Print(list(range(2,30,5)))
Print(list(range(-1,10))

7. Explain while loop with syntax and example.

The while statement executes a block of code repeatedly if the control condition of the loop is true.
When condition becomes false, the statements in the body of loop are not executed and the
control is transferred to the statement immediately following the body of while loop.

Syntax of while Loop

while test_condition:
body of while

Example
Program to print first 5 natural numbers using
Initialisation while loop.
Statement
#Program #Print first 5 natural numbers
using while loop
count = 1
while count <= 5:
print(count)
count += 1
Output:
1
Statements following
2
the while loop 3
4
5

8. Differentiate between break and continue statements using examples.

The break statement alters the normal flow of execution as it terminates the current
loop and resumes execution of the statement following that loop.
#Prints values from 0 to 3
for num in range(6):
num = num + 1
if num == 3:
break
print('Num has value ' + str(num))
print('End of loop')
output: 0 1 2
When a continue statement is encountered, the control skips the execution of remaining

12
statements inside the body of the loop for the current iteration and jumps to the beginning of the
loop for the next iteration.
#Prints values from 0 to 6 except 3
num = 0
for num in range(6):
num = num + 1
if num == 3:
continue
print('Num has value ' + str(num))
print('End of loop')
Output: 0 1 2 4 5 6

9. What is an infinite loop? Give one example.

An infinite loop in Python is a continuous repetition of the conditional loop until some external
factors.
Example:
N=0
While True:
print(n,end= ‘ ‘)
n=n+1

10. Find the output of the following program segments:

(i) a = 110
while a > 100:
print(a)
a -= 2
output: 110 108 106 104 102

(ii) for i in range(20,30,2):

print(i)
output : 20 22 24 26 28

(iii) country = 'INDIA'

for i in country:
print (i)
Output:
I
N
D
I
A

(iv) i = 0; sum = 0
while i < 9:
if i % 4 == 0:
sum = sum + i
i=i+2
print (sum)

Output:
0
0
4
4
12

13
(v) for x in range(1,4):
for y in range(2,5):
if x * y > 10:
break
print (x * y)
Output:
23446869

(vi) var = 7
while var > 0:
print ('Current variable value: ', var)
var = var -1
if var == 3:
break
else:
if var == 6:
var = var -1
continue
print ("Good bye!")

Output:
Current value of val: 7
Current value of val: 5
Current value of val: 4
Good Bye!

11. Explain nested loops with example.

A loop may contain another loop inside it. A loop inside another loop is called a nested loop.
Any type of loop (for/while) may be nested within another loop.
Example: #Program to print the pattern for a number input by the user
#The output pattern to be generated is
#1
#1 2
#1 2 3
#1 2 3 4
#1 2 3 4 5
for i in range(1,6): #outer loop
...: for j in range(1,i+1,1): #inner loop
...: print(j,end=" ")
...: print(end="\n")
