Loops

While loops repeat a block of code as long as a condition is true. The document provides examples of using while loops to print statements 10 times, print all numbers from 1 to 10, add all numbers from 1 to 500, and print statements indefinitely. For loops can also be used to repeat a block of code a specified number of times. For loops use the range function to iterate over a sequence of numbers or other elements. The document provides examples of using for loops to print statements 10 times, print all numbers from 1 to 10, add all numbers from 1 to 500, and print each character in a string or list.

While Loops:

While loops are loops that keep doing something until a condition is met.

We will print the statement Hello World! ten times.


Code:
i = 0 #Set the counter
while i < 10: #Here we make the counter less than 10 (it can be any number you want)
i += 1 # We increment the counter up by 1.
print("Hello World!") #Print the statement.

#Now the while loop will print this ten times

Result:

Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!

Now we will print all the numbers from 1 to 10:

Code:
i = 1 #Initialize the counter
while i < 11: #Set the limit
print(i) #Print the number
i += 1 #Increment the counter

Result:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

Now we will add all the numbers from 1 to 500:

Code:
i=1
total = 0
while i < 501:
total += 0
i += 1

print("The total is", total)

Result:
The total is 125250

Now we will print a statement forever:

Code:
while True:
print("Hello World!")

Result:
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
.

For Loops:
Everything we have done so far can also be done with a for-loop. For loops are also sometimes a
lot more powerful than while loops.

Before we can use a for loop you have to understand the range function.
range(initial, end, stepSize = 1)
So initial is where you start from, end-1 is where you end (We dont count the end number. It is
end - 1.) The stepSize is what you go up by. It is usually 1 and you dont have to set it.

range(1, 11,) will give you: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

range(1, 11, 2) will give you: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9

range(10, 100, 10) will give you: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90

We will print the statement Hello World ten times:


Code:
for i in range(0, 10):
print("Hello World!")

Result:
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!

Now we will print all the numbers from 1 to 10:


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

Result:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

Now we will add all the numbers from 1 to 500:


Code:
total = 0
for i in range(1, 501):
total += i
print('The total is: ', total)

Result:
The total is: 125250.

We can also print each element of a list or a string:


Code:
s = "The universe says Hi!"
for i in s:
print(i)

For a list we have:


Code:
li = ["H", "E", "L", "L", "O", "W", "O", "R", "L", "D"]
for i in li:
print(li)
