answer: An exit condition is a specific criterion or a condition in a loop or process that, when
met, causes the loop to stop executing.
2. What are the two types of loops?
answer: The two main types of loops in programming are:
For Loop: Repeats a specific number of times, typically iterating over a range or sequence.
While Loop: Repeats as long as a specified condition remains true.
3. Write the first line of a Python loop that repeats 100 times.
answer: for i in range(100):
4. a) Here is a Python program. It has an error in it. Explain what the error is.
print("Start program")
while username != "x"
username= input("enter your name )

2. colon : in second line
3. " inverted comma

5. Name one place in a Python program where you must include a colon.

6. Explain the difference between a single equal sign and a double equal sign in
python.

Single Equal Sign (=):

 Purpose: Used for assignment. It assigns a value to a variable.

Example: x = 5 # Assigns the value 5 to the variable x

Double Equal Sign (==):

 Purpose: Used for comparison. It checks whether two values are equal.
 Example: if x == 5: # Compares whether x is equal to 5 print("x is 5")

7. Why is it harder for a programmer to spot a logical error than a syntax error?

Syntax errors are easier to identify because the Python interpreter highlights them
immediately when you run the program, indicating where the issue is.

Logical errors, on the other hand, occur when the program runs without errors but produces
incorrect or unintended results. These errors require the programmer to manually debug and
trace the logic to identify what went wrong.

8. Write a Python program that adds together five numbers input by the user.

total = 0

for i in range(5):

number = int(input("Enter a number: "))

total += number

print("The total is:", total)

output

Enter a number: 1

Enter a number: 3

Enter a number: 2

Enter a number: 6

Enter a number: 7

The total is: 19
