Nested Loop

A nested loop consists of a loop inside another loop, where the outer loop runs first and the inner loop executes completely for each iteration of the outer loop. The document provides syntax examples for both nested for loops and nested while loops, along with practical examples demonstrating their usage in printing number pairs and combining items from two lists. The execution flow of the nested loops is also illustrated to clarify how the loops interact.

1. What is a Nested Loop?

A nested loop means a loop inside another loop.

 The outer loop runs first.


 For each iteration of the outer loop, the inner loop runs completely.

They are commonly used for patterns, tables, and 2D data (like lists or matrices).

Syntax of Nested for Loop

for outer_variable in outer_iterable:

# code of outer loop

for inner_variable in inner_iterable:

# code of inner loop

# this runs completely for each iteration of outer loop

Syntax of Nested while Loop

while condition1: # outer loop

# code block of outer loop

while condition2: # inner loop

# code block of inner loop

# usually update inner loop variable

# update outer loop variable

2. Nested for Loop


✅ Example 1: Printing Number Pairs
for i in range(3): # outer loop → 0,1,2
for j in range(2): # inner loop → 0,1
print(i, j)

Output:

0 0
0 1
1 0
1 1
2 0
2 1

3. Nested while Loop


✅ Example 1: Printing Number Pairs
i = 0
while i < 3: # outer loop
j = 0
while j < 2: # inner loop
print(i, j)
j += 1
i += 1

Output:

0 0
0 1
1 0
1 1
2 0
2 1

xample 2: Items from Two Lists


colors = ["Red", "Blue"]
fruits = ["Apple", "Banana"]

for c in colors: # outer loop


for f in fruits: # inner loop
print(c, f)

Output:

Red Apple
Red Banana
Blue Apple
Blue Banana

Code: Nested while Loop


colors = ["Red", "Blue"]
fruits = ["Apple", "Banana"]
i = 0
while i < len(colors): # outer loop
j = 0
while j < len(fruits): # inner loop
print(colors[i], fruits[j])
j += 1
i += 1

🔄 Execution Flow

 Outer loop → i = 0 → "Red"


o Inner loop → j = 0,1 → "Apple", "Banana"
 Outer loop → i = 1 → "Blue"
o Inner loop → j = 0,1 → "Apple", "Banana"

✅ Output
Red Apple
Red Banana
Blue Apple
Blue Banana
