# I WROTE TWO WAYS FOR YOU TO DO IT BABY !!!!!

# While Loop Explanation: We set up a while loop. A while loop is an

# Easy way to to say "while this statement is true, then keep doing this thing"

# Below for example we are saying. As long as or "while" the smaller number is

# less than, or equal to the larger number (smaller <= larger), then the program
will take

# what the smaller number is at the moment and add it too the total (total = total
+ smaller).

# After this we will increment the smaller number by 1 (smaller = smaller +1) and
this

# prcess will only happen until the smaller number has been incremented enough
times until

# it is equal to the larger number

# To see what i mean run the program

print "WHILE LOOP BEGINNING: \n"


while smaller <= larger:
print("Variables before incrementing smaller number:\nSmaller: " +
str(smaller) + "\nLarger: " + str(larger) + "\ntotal: " + str(total) + "\n\n")

total = total + smaller


smaller = smaller + 1

print("Variables after incrementing smaller number:\nSmaller: " +


str(smaller) + "\nLarger: " + str(larger) + "\ntotal: " + str(total) + "\n\n")

if smaller > larger:


print ("Now we stop because smaller is no longer less than or equal to
larger, it's now greater.\n Current smaller: " + str(smaller) + "\nCurrent Larger:
" + str(larger) + "\nIn other words the while statement is no longer true\n\n")

print "END OF WHILE LOOP\nTOTAL AFTER WHILE LOOP: " + str(total) + "\n\n\n\n"

#reset for next example


smaller = 0
larger = 0
total = 0

if num1 > num2:


larger = num1
smaller = num2
else :
larger = num2
smaller = num1

# For Loop Explanation: Here we set up a for loop. In simple terms a for loop is
saying

# that for every thing(variable) in a list of things(an array, a set of numbers, a


group)

# an easier example is taking a basket of fruit, say that for every piece of fruit
in this

# basket you want to take one bite, the actual python version of this would be :

# EXAMPLE FOR LOOP:

# below is where it's saying "for every fruit in the basket do this thing"

# for fruit in basket:


# Action = take a bite.

# And this is where you state the action you want to take for every fruit
# For this loop, the "fruit" is the "incrementer" variable and the "basket"

# will be a list of numbers starting from the smaller and going up to what

# the larger number is, we create this "basket" by using range(smaller, larger +1)

# which creates a list of numbers between the smaller and larger numbers (not
inclusively)

# example: Range(1,4) = [1, 2, 3] = a list of numbers between 1 and 4

# Now we state that for every fruit (incrementer) in the basket (list of numbers)

# we are going to take that fruit (incrementer) and add it to the total

# Run the Code for Better Explanation

print "BEGINNING OF FOR LOOP\n\n"

mylist = range(smaller, larger + 1)


print "\nThe 'Basket' = Range(smaller, larger + 1) = ", mylist
for incrementer in range(smaller, larger + 1) :

print "\n\nValue of 'fruit' or incrementer at the momenet: ", incrementer


print "\n\nTotal before adding the incrementer: ", total

total = total + incrementer

print "Total after adding the incrementer: ", total

print "\n\nthis is the total", total
