Looping
A loop in Python is a type of control structure that allows a program to repeat a certain block of code a certain
number of times or while a certain condition is true.
Python supports two types of loops: the for loop and the while loop.
for loop
The for loop is used to iterate over a sequence of values and execute a block of code for each value in the
sequence.
(Syntax)
for variableName in (start,end,step):
Statement
Example (1)
for i in range(1,6,1):
print("Hello",i)
Example (2)
str="Hello"
for i in range(0,5,1):
print(str[i])
Example (3)
str="Disney"
newStr=""
for c in str:
newStr+=c+" "
print(newStr)
Example (4)
text="Scoppy"
strNum=""
for i in range(5,-1,-1):
strNum+=text[i]+"\t"
print(strNum)
While loop
The while loop is used to execute a block of code repeatedly until the condition becomes false.
(Syntax)
start
while(end/condition):
Statement
Step(inc/dec)
Example (5)
i=1
while(i<=5):
print(i)
i=i+1
Example (6)
i=10
while(i>=1):
print(i)
i-=2
Example (7)
i=int(input("Enter Number"))
while(i != 0):
print(i*i)
i=int(input("Enter Number"))
Break & Continue
Example (8)
Example (9)
Nested Loop
for( outer loop )row / col
for( inner loop )col / row
for 1 to 5
for 1 to 5
Example (10)
for i in range(1,6):
str1=""
for j in range(1,6):
str1+="* "
print(str1)
Exercise
Write a program to use the loop to find the factorial of a given number. eg.(5! => num=5)
