Loop Control Statement

This document discusses three loop control statements in Python: continue, break, and pass. The continue statement skips the rest of the current loop iteration and continues with the next. Break exits the current loop entirely. Pass acts as a null operation, allowing a statement that is syntactically required but contains no executable code. Examples are provided to illustrate the usage of each statement.

Loop Control Statements in python

Continue Statement :

It returns the control to the beginning of the while loop.. The continue statement

rejects all the remaining statements in the current iteration of the loop and

moves the control back to the top of the loop.

The continue statement can be used in both while and for loops.

Syntax

The syntax for a continue statement in Python is as follows −

continue

Flow Diagram :

Example:

1.

for letter in 'Apeksha':

if letter == 'h':

continue

print 'Current Letter :', letter

Output:

Current Letter : A

Current Letter : p

Current Letter : e

Current Letter : k

Current Letter : s

Current Letter : a

2.

var = 10

while var > 0:

var = var -1

if var == 5:

continue

print 'Current variable value :', var

Output:

Current variable value : 9

Current variable value : 8

Current variable value : 7

Current variable value : 6

Current variable value : 4

Current variable value : 3

Current variable value : 2

Current variable value : 1

Current variable value : 0

Break Statement :

The most common use for break is when some external condition is triggered

requiring a hasty exit from a loop. The break statement can be used in both

while and for loops.

If you are using nested loops, the break statement stops the execution of the

innermost loop and start executing the next line of code after the block.

Syntax

The syntax for a break statement in Python is as follows −

break

Flow Diagram :

Example:

1.

for letter in 'Apeksha':

if letter == 'h':

break

print 'Current Letter :', letter

Output:

Current Letter : A

Current Letter : p

Current Letter : e

Current Letter : k

Current Letter : s

2.

var = 10

while var > 0:

print 'Current variable value :', var

var = var -1

if var == 5:

break

Output:

Current variable value : 10

Current variable value : 9

Current variable value : 8

Current variable value : 7

Current variable value : 6

Pass Statement :

It is used when a statement is required syntactically but you do not want any

command or code to execute.

The pass statement is a null operation; nothing happens when it executes. The

pass is also useful in places where your code will eventually go, but has not

been written yet.

Syntax

pass

Example:

1.

for letter in 'Apeksha':

if letter == 'h':

pass

print 'Current Letter :', letter

Output:

Current Letter : A

Current Letter : p

Current Letter : e

Current Letter : k

Current Letter : s

Current Letter : h

Current Letter : a

2.

var = 10

while var > 0:

var = var -1

if var == 5:

pass

print 'Current variable value :', var

Output:

Current variable value : 9

Current variable value : 8

Current variable value : 7

Current variable value : 6

Current variable value : 4

Current variable value : 3

Current variable value : 2

Current variable value : 1

Current variable value : 0
