Loops

While loops allow repeated execution of steps through iteration. They have an iteration variable that changes each pass through the loop, often incrementing or decrementing a number. Loops can run indefinitely or use break/continue statements to exit early or skip iterations conditionally. Common uses include summing values, calculating factorials, and printing sequences.

Loop Constructs

While
n=5
Repeated Steps
No Yes Program:
n>0? Output:

print n n=5 5
while n > 0 : 4
print (n) 3
n = n -1
n=n–1 2
print ('Blastoff!‘) 1
print (n) Blastoff!
print 'Blastoff' 0
Loops (repeated steps) have iteration variables that
change each time through a loop. Often these iteration
variables go through a sequence of numbers.
n=5
An Infinite Loop
No Yes
n>0?

print 'Lather' n=5


while n > 0 :
print 'Rinse' print ('Lather’)
print ('Rinse‘)
print ('Dry off!‘)

print 'Dry off!'

What is wrong with this loop?


n=0
Another Loop
No Yes
n>0?

print 'Lather' n=0


while n > 0 :
print 'Rinse' print ('Lather’)
print ('Rinse‘)
print ('Dry off!‘)

print 'Dry off!'


What does this loop do?
Breaking Out of a Loop
• The break statement ends the current loop and jumps to the statement
immediately following the loop
• It is like a loop test that can happen anywhere in the body of the loop

while True: > hello there


line = input('> ') hello there
if line == 'done' : > finished
break finished
print (line) > done
print ('Done!‘) Done!
No Yes
while True: True ?
line = input('> ')
if line == 'done' : ....
break
print( line)
print ('Done!‘) break

...

print 'Done'
Finishing an Iteration with continue
• The continue statement ends the current iteration and jumps to the top
of the loop and starts the next iteration

while True:
> hello there
line = input('> ')
hello there
if line[0] == '#' :
> # don't print this
continue
> print this!
if line == 'done'
print this!
: break
> done
print (line)
Done!
print ('Done!‘)
No
True ? Yes
while True:
line = input('> ’) ....
if line[0] == '#' :
continue
if line == 'done' : continue
break
print (line)
...
print ('Done!‘)

print 'Done'
Example: sum of n number of
elements
sum=0
n=int(input('enter no of elements'))
while n>0:
x=int(input('enter element'))
sum=sum+x
n=n-1
print('sum',sum)
Example: factorial of a number
n=int(input('Enter a no'))
i=1
fact=1
if n==0:
print('factorial of 0 is 1')

while i<=n:
fact=fact*i;
i=i+1
print(fact)
Example: break and continue
while True:
ch=input('enter a character')
if ch=='a' or ch=='e‘ or ch==‘i’ or ch==‘o’ or ch==‘u’ :
print('vowel')
continue
else:
print('consonant')
break
Exercise:
1. Write a program to calculate the average of N numbers.
2. Write a program to print alphabets from a-z
3. Write a program to print all natural numbers in reverse from n to 1.
4. Write a program to print all even numbers between 1 to 100
5. Write a program to calculate the sum of all even numbers between 1
to 100.
6. Write a program to print multiplication table of any number.
