The Loops in Python

The document explains the purpose and usage of loops in Python, emphasizing their efficiency in performing repetitive tasks. It covers two types of loops: the for loop, which iterates over sequences using the range() function, and the while loop, which continues as long as a condition is true. Several examples illustrate how to implement these loops for various tasks, such as printing numbers and characters.

The Loops in Python

What is the purpose of loops in Python?


Loops are used when you need to repeat a block of code multiple times without writing
the same instructions again and again.

In many situations, we want to perform a repetitive task, such as displaying numbers


from 1 to 100. Writing 100 separate print() statements would be inefficient and
impractical. A loop allows Python to do this automatically and efficiently.

Without a loop:

print(1)
print(2)
print(3)
# ... up to 100

I – The for Loop


The for loop is used to iterate over a sequence (numbers, characters, etc.).

1-The range() function


range() is a built-in Python function used to generate a sequence of numbers. It takes
three forms

Example 1

Write a Python program that displays the numbers from 1 to 10.

1-1 range(stop)
Starts from 0
Ends at stop − 1

for i in range(11):
print(i)
1-2 range(start, stop)
Starts from start
Ends at stop − 1

for i in range(1,11):
print(i)

1-3 range(start, stop, step)


The step controls how much the number increases each time.

for i in range(1,11,1):
print(i)

Example 2
Write a Python program that reads a number, then prints all even numbers less than that
number.

Num=int(input('enter an integer'))

for i in range(0,Num,2):
if i%2==0:
print(i)

Num=int(input('enter an integer'))

for i in range(0,Num,2):
print(i)

Example 3
Write a Python program that prints each character in a string entered by the user.

Solution 1

Text=input('enter a text')
for ch in Text:
print(ch)
Solution 2

Text=input('enter a text')
for i in range(len(Text)):
print(Text[i])

II – The while Loop


The while loop repeats a block of code as long as a condition is true.

while condition:
# code to repeat if condition is true

Example 4
Write a Python program that asks the user to enter a positive integer. Then display all
numbers from that integer down to 0.

Num=int(input('enter an integer positive'))


for i in range(Num,-1,-1):
print(i)
print('===========')
i=Num
while i>=0:
print(i)
i-=1
