Python Loops Latest Codeing

The document discusses different types of loops in Python including while loops, for loops, and nested loops. It also covers loop control statements like break, continue, and pass that can change a loop's execution flow. The document concludes by explaining iterators and generators in Python. Iterators allow traversing collections, while generators produce a sequence of values using yield without fully executing a function.

Python Loops Latest Codeing

In general, statements are executed sequentially − The first statement in a function


is executed first, followed by the second, and so on. There may be a situation when
you need to execute a block of code several number of times.
Programming languages provide various control structures that allow more
complicated execution paths.
A loop statement allows us to execute a statement or group of statements multiple
times. The following diagram illustrates a loop statement −

Python programming language provides the following types of loops to handle looping
requirements.

Sr.No. Loop Type & Description

1 while loop

Repeats a statement or group of statements while a given condition is TRUE. It tests the
condition before executing the loop body.

2 for loop
Executes a sequence of statements multiple times and abbreviates the code that
manages the loop variable.

3 nested loops
You can use one or more loop inside any another while, or for loop.
Loop Control Statements
The Loop control statements change the execution from its normal sequence. When
the execution leaves a scope, all automatic objects that were created in that scope
are destroyed.
Python supports the following control statements.

Sr.No. Control Statement & Description

1 break statement

Terminates the loop statement and transfers execution to the statement immediately
following the loop.

2 continue statement
Causes the loop to skip the remainder of its body and immediately retest its condition prior
to reiterating.

3 pass statement
The pass statement in Python is used when a statement is required syntactically but you
do not want any command or code to execute.

Let us go through the loop control statements briefly.

Iterator and Generator


Iterator is an object which allows a programmer to traverse through all the elements
of a collection, regardless of its specific implementation. In Python, an iterator object
implements two methods, iter() and next().
String, List or Tuple objects can be used to create an Iterator.
list = [1,2,3,4]
it = iter(list) # this builds an iterator object
print (next(it)) #prints next available element in iterator
Iterator object can be traversed using regular for statement
!usr/bin/python3
for x in it:
print (x, end=" ")
or using next() function
while True:
try:
print (next(it))
except StopIteration:
sys.exit() #you have to import sys module for this
A generator is a function that produces or yields a sequence of values using yield
method.
When a generator function is called, it returns a generator object without even
beginning execution of the function. When the next() method is called for the first
time, the function starts executing until it reaches the yield statement, which returns
the yielded value. The yield keeps track i.e. remembers the last execution and the
second next() call continues from previous value.

Example

The following example defines a generator, which generates an iterator for all the
Fibonacci numbers.
#!usr/bin/python3

import sys
def fibonacci(n): #generator function
a, b, counter = 0, 1, 0
while True:
if (counter > n):
return
yield a
a, b = b, a + b
counter += 1
f = fibonacci(5) #f is iterator object

while True:
try:
print (next(f), end=" ")
except StopIteration:
sys.exit()
