While Loops in Python

This presentation will explore the concept of while loops in Python, a


fundamental programming construct used for repetitive tasks. We'll delve
into the syntax, real-world applications, and practical examples to help
you understand and master this essential tool.

Understanding While Loops
What is a Loop?

A loop is a programming construct that allows a block of code to execute repeatedly until a condition is met.

What is a While Loop?

A while loop executes a block of code as long as a specified condition is True.


Syntax and Example
Syntax Example

while condition: count = 1


# Code to execute while count <= 5:
print("Hello, Python!")
count += 1
Real-Life Use Cases

1 User Authentication 2 Game Development 3 ATM Machine


Continuously asking for a Keeping a game running until a Processing transactions until the
password until it's correct. player quits. user exits.

4 Web Scraping 5 Downloading Files


Extracting data from a website until there's nothing left. Retrying a download until it's complete.
Examples of While Loops
Print Numbers from 1 to 10 Sum of First 10 Natural Numbers

num = 1 num = 1
while num <= 10: sum = 0
print(num) while num <= 10:
num += 1 sum += num
num += 1
print("Sum:", sum)

Reverse Counting from 10 to 1 Keep Asking for Input Until Correct

num = 10 password = "Python123"


while num >= 1: user_input = ""
print(num)
num -= 1 while user_input != password:
user_input = input("Enter password: ")
print("Access Granted!")
4. Difference Between For and While Loop

Feature For Loop While Loop

Used for Iterating over sequences Repeating until a condition is false

Condition Uses a sequence like range() Uses a boolean condition

Example for i in range(5): while i < 5:


Break and Continue
Statements
break immediately exits the loop. continue skips the current iteration
and proceeds to the next.

Break (Exit the loop) Continue (Skip an


iteration)
num = 1
while num <= 10: num = 0
if num == 5: while num < 10:
break num += 1
print(num) if num % 2 == 0:
num += 1 continue
print(num)

Output:

10 Questions for While Loop Practice
1. Write a program to print numbers from 1 to 20 using a while loop.
2. Print only even numbers between 1 and 20 using a while loop.
3. Reverse print numbers from 100 to 50 using a while loop.
4. Take user input and keep asking until they enter a positive number.

5. Find the sum of digits of a number using a while loop.


6. Print the multiplication table of a given number using a while loop.
7. Write a program to count the number of digits in an integer using a while loop.
8. Reverse a given number using a while loop.
9. Check if a number is palindrome using a while loop.
10. Find the factorial of a number using a while loop.
Here9s a comparison table showing the
differences between List, Tuple, and
Dictionary in Python:
Feature List Tuple Dictionary

Definition Ordered, mutable Ordered, immutable Unordered collection of


collection of elements collection of elements key-value pairs

Syntax list = [1, 2, 3] tuple = (1, 2, 3) dict = {"name": "John",


"age": 25}

Mutable (Can be ' Yes o No  Yes


changed?)

Indexing  Yes (0-based index)  Yes (0-based index)  Yes (by key)

Duplicates Allowed?  Yes Yes o No (Keys must be


unique)

Heterogeneous? (Can  Yes  Yes  Yes


contain different data
types?)

Iterability  Yes (Can be iterated  Yes  Yes


using loops)

Speed Slower than tuples Faster than lists Depends on key lookup

Use Case When you need a When you need a fixed When you need key-value
modifiable collection collection pairs

Methods .append(), .remove(), .sort(), .count(), .index() .keys(), .values(), .items(),


etc. etc.
List , Tuple , Dict Code example
Code '

# List
my_list = [1, 2, 3]
my_list.append(4) #allowed mutable

#Allowed (mutable)# Tuple


my_tuple = (1, 2, 3)
#my_tuple[0] = 4 # Not allowed (immutable)

# Dictionary
my_dict = {"name": "Alice", "age": 25}
my_dict["city"] = "New York
Conclusion
While loops are essential for coding interviews and real-world
applications. They provide a powerful way to handle repetitive tasks and
solve complex problems. By understanding the syntax, use cases, and
examples, you can effectively utilize while loops in your Python
programming journey.
