Lab 6: Loops in Python

Exercise 1:
Write a Python program that prints all even numbers from 2 to 20 using a for loop.
Expected Output:

2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20

for n in range(2,21,2):
print(n)

Exercise 2:
Write a for loop that prints numbers from 10 down to 1 in reverse order.
Expected Output:

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

for n in range(10,0,-1):
print(n)

Exercise 3:
There is an error in the following code. Identify and fix it.

for i in range(5, 1):

print(i)

Hint: The loop does not print anything.


Expected Output (After Fixing):

5432
for i in range(5,1,-1):
print(i)

Exercise 4:
Write a Python program that asks the user for a number and searches for it in the
given list using a for loop. If the number is found, print "Number found!". If not,
print "Number not found!".

numbers = [10, 25, 30, 45, 50, 60, 75]

Example Run 1:

Enter a number: 45

Number found!

Example Run 2:

Enter a number: 100

Number not found!

numbers=[10,25,30,45,50,60,75]

user_input=int(input(“Enter the number you are looking for:”))

found=False
for n in numbers:
if user_input==n:
found=True
break

if found:
print(“Number found!”)

else:
print(“Number not found!”)

Exercise 5
Write a for loop to find the largest number in the list:

numbers = [45, 67, 89, 23, 10]


Expected Output:

Largest number: 89

numbers=[45,67,89,23,10]
largest=numbers[0]

for n in numbers:
if n>largest:
largest=n

print(“Largest number:”,largest)

Exercise 4: What’s Wrong Here?


Identify the error and explain how to fix it:
i=1
while i <= 5
print(i)
i = i+ 1

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

Exercise 5: Off-by-One Error


The program should print numbers from 1 to 5. Why does it stop early? How
would you fix it?
n=6
while n < 5:
print(n)
n=n+1

print("Done")

n=1
while n < 5:
print(n)
n=n+1
print("Done")

Exercise 6: Infinite Loop

What is missing? Why will this cause an infinite loop?


counter = 10
while counter > 0:
print(counter)
counter+=1

Exercise 7: Guess the Number Game


Fix the logic of this program:

secret = 7
guess = -1

while guess != secret:


guess=int(input("Guess the number: ")
print("You got it!")

Exercise 8: Countdown Timer


Fix any bugs so it counts down from a number to 0:

start = int(input("Enter a starting number: "))


while start >= 0:
print(start)
start = start- 1
