Python For Loop

The document discusses Python for loops. It provides the syntax for a basic for loop and examples of using for loops to iterate over different sequence types like lists, ranges, strings, and tuples. It also demonstrates nested for loops with if/else blocks. The conclusion reiterates that for loops can iterate over various sequences and encourages practicing for loops on buffers as an exercise.

Python For Loop

Python For Loop

Python For loop – In Python, for loop is used when a set of statements are to be executed iteratively over a
sequence of elements.

Nested For Loop is also discussed in this Python Tutorial.

Syntax – Python For Loop


for <variable> in <sequence>:
statement1
statement2

A pictorial representation of for loop is shown below.

Python For Loop Execution Model

Python For Loop Examples

Following examples were provided, based on the iteration over different types of sequences :
For loop with iteration over elements in list
For loop with iteration over elements in range
For loop with iteration over characters in string
For loop with iteration over items in tuple
Nested For Loop

Note : Python 3.6.1 is used for the examples.

Example 1 – Python For Loop with Iterator over List


In this example, we will take a list of numbers and use for loop to iterate over each of the element in the list.

example.py – Python Program

for number in [1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12]:


print(number)

Output

1
2
3
5
6
10
11
12

Example 2 – Python For Loop with Iterator over Range


In this example, we will take a range, and use for loop to iterate over each number in the range.

example.py – Python Program

for number in range(1, 5):


print(number)

Output

1
2
3
4

Example 3 – Python For loop with Iterator over String


In this example, we will take a String and use for loop to iterate over each character of the string.

example.py – Python Program


for ch in "tutorialkart":
print(ch)

Output

t
u
t
o
r
i
a
l
k
a
r
t

Example 4 – Python For loop with Iterator over Tuple


In this example, we will take a tuple and use for loop to iterate over each item in the tuple.

example.py – Python Program

for name in ('Johny', 'Luciana', 'Christy', 'Gopal', 'Joey'):


print(name)

Output

Johny
Luciana
Christy
Gopal
Joey

Nested For Loop


Any statement inside the for loop could be another for loop, if block, if-else block or any such.

An example program for nested for loop with embedded if-else blocks is given below.

example.py – Python Program

for greeting in ['hello', 'hi', 'hola']:


for ch in greeting:
print(ch)
if greeting=='hello':
print("hello buddy!")
else:
if greeting=='hi':
print("hi friend!")
else:
print("hola gola!")
Output

h
e
l
l
o
hello buddy!
h
i
hi friend!
h
o
l
a
hola gola!

Conclusion
In this Python Tutorial, we have learn about for loop execution flow, for loop syntax in python, nested for loop,
for loops that iterate over list, range, string and tuple. As an exercise, try out the for loop that iterates over
buffer.
