Unit 3 Python
Repetitive instruction
n A loop allows to repeat instructions infinitely as needed.

while
while condition :
instructions

n While executes instructions repeatedly as long as a condition is

true
n Example : Write a program that displays a string (for example
"Python is a programming language") 10 times
i=0
while i< 10 :
print(i+1,"Python is a programming language")
2 i = i+ 1

Exercises

1. Write a program that displays numbers from 1 to

10.
2. Write a program that calculates the sum of
integers from 1 to 100.
3. Write a program that calculates the sum and
product of integers from 1 to a limit given by the
user.
4. Write a program that enters two positive integers
and calculates the first to the power of the second.
5. Enter an integer, calculate n!.
6. Use a while loop to prompt the user for input
until they enter "exit". Print each input received
3
from the user.

Repetitive instruction
n When you want to repeat the same instruction or block of instructions
a given number of times.

for
commande
for i in range (start, stop, step) :
instructions
for est la plus appropriée.
start Optional. An integer number specifying at which position to start. Default is 0
stop Required. An integer number specifying at which position to stop (not
included).
step Optional. An integer number specifying the incrementation. Default is 1

n Examples : for i in range (5, 10):

print(i)
for i in range (100): # for i ranging from 0 to 99
print("Python is a programming language") for i in range (5, 10, 2):
print(i)

Exercises

1. Calculate the sum of the first N terms of the series S = 1 +

1/2 + 1/3 + ... + 1/N
2. Calculate by successive multiplications XN of two natural
integers X and N entered on the keyboard.
3. Calculate P(X) for a given value X of a polynomial of degree
n P(X) = AnXn + An-1Xn-1 + ... + A1X1 + A0. Values of n, An,
... , A0 and X will be given on the keyboard.
4. Calculate the GCD of two natural integers entered on the
keyboard using EUCLID's algorithm.
5. Count the total number of digits in a number.
6. Write a program to enter a number and check if the number
is perfect or not. Example: 28 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14.
7. Write a program to check if a given number is Strong or not.
A strong number is equal to the sum of the factorial of its
digits. Example: 145 = 1! + 4! + 5!

Repetitive instruction
n break
n The break statement allows to "break"
the execution of a loop.

n Example

n=int(input("Give a number:"))
for i in range(2, n):
if n % i == 0:
print(n, " is not a prime number")
break

n If we find a divisor, we stop the

loop with break.
n Otherwise, it is a prime
number.

Repetitive instruction
n continue
n The continue statement allows to move on to
the next loop prematurely.

n Example

n=0
while n <= 100 :
n += 1
if n % 2 != 0 : n The first instruction increases the value of
continue
print(n) the variable.
n If it is odd, we stop executing the body of
the loop and we go directly to the next
round.
n Otherwise, we display the value of n

Unit 3 Python
Repetitive instruction
n else
n The else statement allows to execute some code
when the loop condition becomes false

n Example
number = 0
while number < 10:
number += 1
print("Current number is:", number)
else:
print("The loop has completed, number
reached 10.")

Repetitive instruction
n A string is a variable that stores a sequence of characters of type char.
n Example1 index 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
character I A D T U M 6 P \0

n When you want to iterate on string.

n
for
Example1
for char in string :
instructions on char

str = "Hello, how are you ?"

for c in str:
print(c)

n Example 2
n end to not add a line break str = "IADT UM6P"
for element in str[0:4:1]:
print(element, end =‘ ')

Exercises

1. Write a loop that counts and prints the number of vowels in a

string.
2. Create a loop that reverses a string and prints the result.
3. Write a loop that converts all characters in a string to uppercase
and prints the new string.
4. Read a string and a characters and count the frequency of this
character.
5. Read a first string and second string and check if the second string
in the first.
6. Write a program that can read a string and check if this string is a
palindrome. Reminder: a palindrome is a string that is read from
left to right and from right to left in the same way. Example:
RADAR.

Repetitive instruction
n Nested loops
n A loop can be nested inside another loop.
n Consist of an outer loop and one or more inner loops.

n Each time the outer loop is iterated, the inner loops are executed
in full.
for i in range(4):
n Example for j in range(4):
print("loop 1 iteration n:", i, "loop 2 iteration:", j)
