Python nested loops - Tutorialspoint

The document explains the concept of nested loops in Python, allowing one loop to be placed inside another. It provides the syntax for both nested for and while loops, and includes an example program that identifies prime numbers between 2 and 100 using a nested loop structure. The output of the program lists all prime numbers in that range.

Python nested loops

Python programming language allows to use one loop inside another loop. Following section shows
few examples to illustrate the concept.

Syntax

for iterating_var in sequence:


for iterating_var in sequence:
statements(s)
statements(s)

The syntax for a nested while loop statement in Python programming language is as follows −

while expression:
while expression:
statement(s)
statement(s)

A final note on loop nesting is that you can put any type of loop inside of any other type of loop. For
example a for loop can be inside a while loop or vice versa.

Example

The following program uses a nested for loop to find the prime numbers from 2 to 100 −

Live Demo
#!/usr/bin/python

i = 2
while(i < 100):
j = 2
while(j <= (i/j)):
if not(i%j): break
j = j + 1
if (j > i/j) : print i, " is prime"
i = i + 1

print "Good bye!"

When the above code is executed, it produces following result −

2 is prime
3 is prime
5 is prime
7 is prime
11 is prime
13 is prime
17 is prime
19 is prime
23 is prime
29 is prime
31 is prime
37 is prime
41 is prime
43 is prime
47 is prime
53 is prime
59 is prime
61 is prime
67 is prime
71 is prime
73 is prime
79 is prime
83 is prime
89 is prime
97 is prime
Good bye!
