Python Worksheet 5 While Loops

The document provides examples of using while loops in Python programs. The first example is an adder program that uses a while loop to continually ask the user for numbers to add until they enter 0. It tracks the running total and number of entries. The second example is a guessing game that uses a while loop to have the user repeatedly guess a randomly generated number between 1 and 100 until they guess correctly, tracking the number of attempts. It indicates after each guess if the user's guess was too high or too low.

Introduction to Python

Worksheet 5: While loops


Below is an example code for a simple program to add up numbers entered by a user and
display the total.
Copy the code below and run it. Then try the challenge below.

#Adder
print("Keeping a running total")
print("***********************\n")
print("Enter numbers to add together then press 0 to exit.")

#Initialise the variables


count = 0
runningTotal = 0
number = int(input("Input the first number: "))

#Add each number together until 0 is entered


while number != 0:
count = count + 1 # (or count+=1)
runningTotal = runningTotal + number
number = int(input("Input next number (0 to finish): "))

#Display the total sum and the number of entries made


print ("You entered ",count," numbers")
print ("Total = ", runningTotal)

input("Press ENTER to exit")

Challenge :
Plan and write a program called GuessMyNumber.py where the computer generates a
random number between 1 and 100 and the user must guess what it is. The program should
indicate whether they are too high or too low and display the final number of attempts at the
end.
#Guess my Number Game
#A classic program that uses a while loop

#Impor5t the random number module


import random

#Display the title and rules


print("Guess the Number Game!")

print("Try to guess what it is in a few attempts as possible.\n")

#Initialise the variables and generate a random number between 1 and 100
number = random.randint(1, 100)
guess = int(input("What is your first guess? "))
attempts = 1

#Create the loop


#!= means not equal to
while guess != number:
if guess > number:
print("Too high.")
else:
print("Too low")
guess = int(input("Guess again...: "))
attempts = attempts + 1

print("Well done! you took",attempts, "attempts to guess it was number",number,)

input("\n\nPress ENTER to exit")
