Loops allow repetitive execution of a

block of code until a certain


Why use condition is met.
Types of Loops:

loops • while loop: Repeats while a


condition is true.
• for loop: Iterates over a sequence
(list, tuple, string, dictionary, etc.).
A while loop in Python is a control structure that
allows to repeatedly execute a block of code as
long as a certain condition remains true. It is
used when you may not know in advance how
many iterations are needed.

It's important to ensure that the condition in a


while Loop while loop eventually becomes False to prevent
an infinite loop.
while condition:
# Code to be executed as long as the condition is true

The components of while loop:

Syntax • while- The while keyword marks the beginning of the loop.
of while Loop • condition- This is an expression that is evaluated before
each iteration. As long as the condition is True, the loop will
continue executing.
• :(Colon)- The colon signifies the beginning of the indented
block of code, which will be executed in each iteration.
number = 1
while number <= 5:
print(number)
number += 1

In this example:
• number is an iteration variable initialized to 1.
• The while loop continues as long as the condition number <= 5 is true.
• Inside the loop, the current value of number is printed, and number is
incremented by 1 in each iteration.
Example of a
while loop:
The output will be:
1
2
3
4
5

• In this example, number is incremented with each iteration, causing the


condition to become false when number exceeds 5.
2

• i is an iteration variable initialized to 0.


• The while loop continues as long as the condition i < 3 is true.
• Inside the loop, the current value of i is displayed and number is incremented by 1 in each iteration.
How to find the output?
n=5 Example 3:
Output:
No Yes Program:
n>0? 5
n = 5 4
print(n) while n > 0 :
3
print(n)
n = n – 1 2
n = n -1 print('Blastoff!') 1
print(n) Blastoff!
0

print('Blastoff')
Example 4:
count = 1
Output:
No Yes
count = 1 count< 3 ?
while count <= 3:
number = int(input("enter a number"))
print("The square is " , (number * Input number
print(number*number)
number))
count += 1

count = count +1

end of loop
In Python, you can generate random numbers using the random module.

Here are two common ways to generate random numbers:

• Using the random.randint() function: This function generates a random integer between two specified values (inclusive).

Example:

import random
# Generate a random integer between 1 and 10 (inclusive)
random_number = random.randint(1, 10)
print(random_number)

• Using the random.random() function: This function generates a random float between 0 and 1 (excluding 1).

Example:

import random
# Generate a random float between 0 and 1
random_float = random.random()
print(random_float)
for loop in python
A for loop in Python is a control structure that allows you to
execute a block of code repeatedly for a specified number of
times or for each item in a sequence (e.g., a list, tuple, or
string).

PRESENTATION TITLE 11
range() function
(Execute a block of code repeatedly for a specified
number of times)

for variable in range(num1,num2):

Syntax of for #Code to be executed in each iteration

loop Components of this syntax:


• for-The for keyword marks the beginning of the loop.
• variable-This is a variable that controls the execution of the loop. You
choose the variable name.
• range(num1,num2) generates a sequence of numbers from num1 to
num2-1 . By default, the variable is incremented by 1.
• :(colon)- The colon signifies the beginning of the indented block
of code, which will be executed in each iteration.

Example 1: number =1
for number in range(1,6):
print(number)
Is
number
<6

Iteration number output


1 1 1
2
2 2 print(number)
3
3 3 4
4 4 5

5 5
By default the variable number increment by 1

PRESENTATION TITLE 13
Execute a set of statements for each item in a sequence
for variable in sequence:
# Code to be executed in each iteration

Components of this syntax:


• for-The for keyword marks the beginning of the loop.
Syntax of for • variable-This is a variable that represents the current item in each
iteration. You choose the variable name.
loop • in- The in keyword separates the variable from the sequence.
• sequence- A sequence is a collection of items (e.g., a list, tuple,
string) that you want to loop through.
• :(colon)- The colon signifies the beginning of the indented block of
code, which will be executed in each iteration.
