Python While Loops

The document summarizes while loops in Python. It explains that while loops execute a set of statements as long as a condition is true. An example is provided to print the numbers from 1 to 5 using a while loop. It also discusses the break, continue, and else statements that can be used within while loops to control program flow.

Python has two primitive loop commands:
Python Lists
Python Tuples while loops
Python Sets for loops
Python Dictionaries
Python If...Else
Python While Loops The while Loop
Python For Loops
Python Functions With the while loop we can execute a set of statements as long as a condition is true.
Python Lambda
Python Arrays
Python Classes/Objects Example Get your own Python Server
Python Inheritance
Print i as long as i is less than 6:

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

Try it Yourself »

Note: remember to increment i, or else the loop will continue forever.

COLOR PICKER
The while loop requires relevant variables to be ready, in this example we need to define an indexing variable, i , which we set
to 1.

The break Statement 


With the break statement we can stop the loop even if the while condition is true:

Example
Exit the loop when i is 3:

i = 1
while i < 6:
print(i)
if i == 3:
break
i += 1

The continue Statement


With the continue statement we can stop the current iteration, and continue with the next:

Example ADVERTISEMENT

Continue to the next iteration if i is 3:

i = 0
while i < 6:
i += 1
if i == 3:
continue
print(i)

Try it Yourself »

The else Statement


With the else statement we can run a block of code once when the condition no longer is true:

Example
Print a message once the condition is false:

i = 1
while i < 6:
print(i)
i += 1
else:
print("i is no longer less than 6")
