Loops
break Keyword
In a loop, the break keyword escapes the loop,
regardless of the iteration number. Once break numbers = [0, 254, 2, -1, 3]
executes, the program will continue to execute after the
loop. for num in numbers:
In this example, the output would be: if (num < 0):
print("Negative number detected!")
0
break
254
print(num)
2

# 0
Negative number detected!
# 254
# 2
# Negative number detected!

Python List Comprehension


Python list comprehensions provide a concise way for
creating lists. It consists of brackets containing an # List comprehension for the squares of
expression followed by a for clause, then zero or more for all even numbers between 0 and 9
or if clauses: [EXPRESSION for ITEM in LIST <if result = [x**2 for x in range(10) if x % 2
CONDITIONAL>] . == 0]
The expressions can be anything - any kind of object can
go into a list.
print(result)
A list comprehension always returns a list.
# [0, 4, 16, 36, 64]

Python For Loop


A Python for loop can be used to iterate over a list of
items and perform a set of actions on each item. The for <temporary variable> in <list
syntax of a for loop consists of assigning a temporary variable>:
value to a variable on each successive iteration. <action statement>
When writing a for loop, remember to properly indent <action statement>
each action, otherwise an IndentationError will result.

#each num in nums will be printed below


nums = [1,2,3,4,5]
for num in nums:
print(num)

The Python continue Keyword


In Python, the continue keyword is used inside a loop to
skip the remaining code inside the loop code block and big_number_list = [1, 2, -1, 4, -5, 5, 2,
begin the next loop iteration. -9]

# Print only positive numbers:


for i in big_number_list:
if i < 0:
continue
print(i)

Python Loops with range().


In Python, a for loop can be used to perform an action
a speci�c number of times in a row. # Print the numbers 0, 1, 2:
The range() function can be used to create a list that for i in range(3):
can be used to specify the number of iterations in a for print(i)
loop.

# Print "WARNING" 3 times:


for i in range(3):
print("WARNING")

In�nite Loop
An in�nite loop is a loop that never terminates. In�nite
loops result when the conditions of the loop prevent it
from terminating. This could be due to a typo in the
conditional statement within the loop or incorrect logic.
To interrupt a Python program that is running forever,
press the Ctrl and C keys together on your keyboard.

Python while Loops


In Python, a while loop will repeatedly execute a code
block as long as a condition evaluates to True . # This loop will only run 1 time
The condition of a while loop is always checked �rst hungry = True
before the block of code runs. If the condition is not met while hungry:
initially, then the code block will never run. print("Time to eat!")
hungry = False

# This loop will run 5 times


i = 1
while i < 6:
print(i)
i = i + 1

Python Nested Loops


In Python, loops can be nested inside other loops. Nested
loops can be used to access items of lists which are inside groups = [["Jobs", "Gates"], ["Newton",
other lists. The item selected from the outer loop can be "Euclid"], ["Einstein", "Feynman"]]
used as the list for the inner loop to iterate over.
# This outer loop will iterate over each
list in the groups list
for group in groups:
# This inner loop will go through each
name in each list
for name in group:
print(name)
