For loops
Engineering

• A for loop is used for iterating over a particular sequence (can be a list, a

tuple, a dictionary, a set, or a string).
• This is less like the for keyword in other programming languages
• Similar to an iterator method as found in other object-orientated
programming languages.
• With the for loop a set of statements, once for each item in a list, tuple, set
etc can be executed.
• Used for sequential traversal.

A simple ‘for’ loop

Engineering

Syntax:
for iterator_var in sequence:
statements(s)
Example 1: output: 0 1 2 3
n=4
for i in range(0, n):
    print(i)
Example 2: output: 4 3 2 1 stop!
for i in [4, 3, 2, 1] :
print(i)
print(‘stop!')

Example 3
friends = ['Joseph', 'Glenn', 'Sally']
for friend in friends :
print(‘Hello:', friend)
print('Done!’)
Output:
Hello: Joseph
Hello: Glenn
Hello: Sally

Done!

String manipulation functions

• capitalize() Capitalizes first letter of string
• center (width, fillchar) Returns a space-padded string with
the original string centered to a total of width columns.
• count(str, beg= 0,end=len(string)) Counts how many times
str occurs in string or in a substring of string if starting index
beg and ending index end are given
• endswith(suffix, beg=0, end=len(string)) Determines if
string or a substring of string (if starting index beg and
ending index end are given) ends with suffix; returns true if
so and false otherwise
• Find (str, beg=0 end=len(string))Determine if str occurs in

Lists in Python
• Lists are used to store multiple items using a single variable.
• Lists is a built-in data types
• Lists are used to store collections of data,
• Similar to lists are Tuple, Set, and Dictionary
• List items are ordered, changeable, and allow duplicate values.
• List items are indexed, the first item has index [0], the second
item has index [1]  and so on
• List items can be of any data type
