Control Statements
OBJECTIVE:
To get familiar with the concept of control statement for simple controlling and repetition of program
statements.
Theory:
Control Statements (Loops)
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 for 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 following types of loops to handle looping
requirements.
Loop Type Description
Repeats a statement or group of statements while a given condition is
while loop
TRUE. It tests the condition before executing the loop body.
Executes a sequence of statements multiple times and abbreviates the
for loop
code that manages the loop variable.
nested loops You can use one or more loop inside any another while, for loop.
The while Loop
A while loop statement in Python programming language repeatedly executes a target
statement as long as a given condition is True.
Syntax
The syntax of a while loop in Python programming language is:
while expression:
statement(s)

Here, statement(s) may be a single statement or a block of statements.
The condition may be any expression, and true is any non-zero value. The loop iterates
while the condition is true. When the condition becomes false, program control passes to
the line immediately following the loop.
In Python, all the statements indented by the same number of character spaces after a
programming construct are considered to be part of a single block of code. Python uses
indentation as its method of grouping statements.
Example-1: Example-2:
i=1 i=1
while i < 4: while i < 4:
print (i) print i
i+=1 i+=1
print( “END”) print “END”
Output-1: Output-2:
1 END 1
2 END 2
3 END 3
END
Example: Write a program to display factorial of a given number.
Program:
n=input("Enter the number: ")
f=1
while n>0:
f=f*n
n=n-1
print "Factorial is", f
Output:
Enter the number: 5 Factorial is 120
The For loop:

The for loop is useful to iterate over the elements of a sequence. It means, the for loop
can be used to execute a group of statements repeatedly depending upon the number of
elements in the sequence. The for loop can work with sequence like string, list, tuple, range
etc.
The syntax of the for loop is given below:
for var in sequence:
statement (s)
The first element of the sequence is assigned to the variable written after „for‟ and then the
statements are executed. Next, the second element of the sequence is assigned to the variable
and then the statements are executed second time. In this way, for each element of the sequence,
the statements are executed once. So, the for loop is executed as many times as there are
number of elements in the sequence.
1 END 1
2 END 2
3 END 3
END
for i range(1,5): for i range(1,5):
print i print i
print “END” print “END”

Name= "python"
for x in range(10,0,-1):
for letter in Name:
print x,
print letter
