Counting - for loops
 What is Counting?
Counting simply means how many times a certain data value occurs in a
process or how many times a process/action is repeated inside a loop.

Pay attention to words such as:

HOW MANY ITEMS?
COUNT HOW MANY TIMES xyz OCCURED?
STATE THE PERCENTAGE OF ……… OUT OF …….
This counting is different from the count variable which we use to
control the number of repetitions in loops
 How does counting work?
count10=0
for count in range(0,5):
num=int(input(“Enter a number’))
if(num > 10):
count10=count10+1
print(“No of integers > 10 is”, count10)
 0 0

This is just an assumed
value. User can enter any
Is 5 > 10 ? value

This is just an assumed
value. User can enter any
Is 3 > 10 ? value
Now the loop stops

What will be the value of

count10 once the loop
ends?
When the loop ends

count10=2(the last value)

count=4(the last value)
num=3(the last value)

number=int(input(“Enter an integer”))
if( number % 2 == 0):
count_even=count_even + 1

print(“ The number of even integers entered is”, count_even)

Sample code for counting and
totalling even numbers:
count_even=0
total_even=0

for count in range (0,10):

number=int(input(“Enter an integer”))
if( number % 2 == 0):
count_even=count_even + 1
total_even=total_even+number
print(“ The number of even integers entered is”, count_even)
print(“ The total of all the even numbers entered is”, total_even)
Practice Q9
Q) Susan wants to report how many students in her class are failing
in Math and English to the head of academics so that reinforcement
classes can be scheduled. She is told that reinforcement classes can
only be conducted if more than 15 (For testing use 5) students in each
subject require reinforcement. Passing percentage is 50.

Susan has 45 students in her class. For testing use 14

Write a program which will tell Susan whether or not classes can be
conducted for the 2 subjects.
STEPS

1. First initialize the count variables - 2

2. Start the for loop and run it 45 times
3. Inside the loop first ask for the Math percentage
4. Then ask for the English percentage
5. If the Math percentage is < 50 then increment count_math
6. Do the same for English percentage
7. Come out of the loop
8. Now start a conditional statement
9. If count_math >=15 then print math classes can be conducted
10.If count_eng >=15 then print English classes can be conducted
Answer 9
count_math=0
count_Eng=0

for count in range(0,45):

Math_percent=float(input(“Enter the math percentage: “))
Eng_percent=float(input(“Enter the English percentage: “))
if( Math_percent <50 ):
count_math=count_math+1
if( Eng_percent < 50 ):
count_Eng=count_Eng+1
if(count_math>15):
print(“Math classes can be conducted”)
else:
print(“Math classes cannot be conducted”)
if(count_Eng >15):
print(“English classes can be conducted”)
else:
print(“English classes cannot be conducted”)

if(value<2): if(value<2):

count_less2=count_less2+1 count_less2=count_less2+value

Do you think there is an error in any of the codes?

 What are the following codes implementing? Error is in this code. It
is not counting but
instead is totaling

Ibrahim and Ahmad run a cafe and want to see how much money they made in a week.
The cafe sells the following:
Sandwiches $5 each
Practice Q11
Drinks $3 each
Burgers $9 each
Milkshakes $6 each
Each customer can only buy one item in a day. Write a python program which will ask the customer the item
they wish to buy (1 for sandwich, 2 for drink, 3 for burger and 4 for milkshake) and then output the following for
a week:
1. Number of customers who bought a sandwich
2. Number of customers who bought a drink
3. Number of customers who bought a burger
4. Number of customers who bought a milkshake
The total amount of money made in a week also needs to be output
STEPS TO SOLVE THIS QUESTION:

1. Take the number of customers as input for one day

2. Start a loop for the number of customers first - solve the question for one day
3. For each customer ask what they want to buy (present numeric options)
4. Calculate the total for each option
5. For each option also increment the count for that option
6. In the end output the total money made on that day
7. Now put this code in another loop which will run 7 times, for each day of the week

YOU CAN ALSO KEEP ON ASKING IF THERE ARE ANY MORE CUSTOMERS
INSTEAD OF TAKING THE NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS AS INPUT - FOR THIS
YOU NEED A WHILE LOOP ( WHICH WE HAVEN’T COVERED YET)

 FINDING THE
MAXIMUM/MINIMUM VALUES
USING FOR LOOPS

PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE

FOLLOWING SLIDES
1)When you have not been
given a range for the values
Write down the first number in the list, and call it 'ma x' For each
number in the list if it's bigger than 'max' replace the value of 'max' by
the larger value. When we're all done, 'max' is the largest number we
found

Write down the first number in the list, and call it

'min' For each number in the list if it's smaller than
'min' replace the value of 'min’ by the smaller value.
When we're all done, 'min' is the smallest number we
found
2) When you have been given
a range for the values
From the range given to you, put the smallest value in the max variable
before starting the loop

From the range given to you, put the largest value in

the min variable before starting the loop
Maximum - for loops
 Let's say you must enter
5 numbers between 0 to 100
 Code for finding max when a range has
been given
maximum=0
for count in range(0,5):
num=int(input(“Enter a number’))
if(num > maximum):
maximum=num

count=4(the last value)
num=2(the last value)
Let's say you are asked to find
the minimum of 5 integers.
 Code for finding min when no range has
been given
minimum=int(input("Enter the 1st number"))
for count in range(0,4):
number=int(input(“Enter the number))
if( number < minimum):
minimum=number

print("The minimum number entered is", minimum)

 Practice Q15
• Students in a class are asked to enter numbers in a system.
The numbers should be between 500 – 5000. (Validation of
the input is not required)
• There are a total of 7 students.
• Output the largest number entered by the students and
the minimum value.
Practice Q16
Q) Find the factors of the following numbers:
12
45
66
40
Print out the list of factors separately for each
number
Answer 16
num1=12
num2=45
num3=66
num4=40

print(“Printing factors for “, num1) print(“Printing factors for “, num3)

for count in range(1, num1+1): for count in range(1, num3+1):
if(num1%count==0): if(num3%count==0):
print(count) print(count)

print(“Printing factors for “, num2) print(“Printing factors for “, num4)

for count in range(1, num4+1):
for count in range(1, num2+1):
if(num4%count==0):
if(num2%count==0):
print(count)
print(count)
WHILE Loops
 while loops
These are condition controlled loops and more
specifically pre condition loops

while(condition is true):
Execute commands inside the loop

Come out of the loop if the condition becomes false

Main difference between a for loop and while
loop in Python is that when writing a while loop
you need to increment the counter yourself -
something which happens automatically in for
loops

count=count+1
In a while loop, you need to:
1. Specify the starting value of
count
2. Specify the increment
3. Specify the ending value of count
in the condition with while
 WHILE LOOP FOR LOOP PYTHON

We want to run a while loop 5 times. How do
we write the code?

count=1 (you can also start from 0)

while(count <=5):
print(count)

What is the error in this code? Can you find one?

Error is that this is an infinite loop
since the count does not change in
value and will always stay 1
(meaning <=5)
We want to run a while loop 5 times. How do
we write the code?

count=1 (you can also start from 0)

while(count <=5):
print(count)
count=count+1
This code will now run 5 times
 count Output
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
5 5
while(count <=5):
count=1 (you can also start from 0)
while(count <=5):
print(count+2)
count=count+1

This code will now run 5 times but the output will be
different
 count Output
1 3
2 4
3 5
4 6
5 7
while(count <=5):
How many times will the
following loops run?
1

count=1
while(count >50):
print(count)
count=count+1
0 times

Because the value of count

will never be greater than
50 for the loop to begin
2

count=1
while(count >=1):
print(count)
count=count+1
Infinite loop

Because the condition with

the while loop will always
be true
3

count=19
while(count <=29):
print(count)
count=count+1
11 times

Because 19 to 29 (inclusive)
is 11
4

Let’s try boolean values

count=True
while(count != False):
print(count)
Infinite loop

Because the value of count will

never match False and this will
make the condition with while
TRUE every time
 5

count=1
set_x=90
set_y=84
while(count <=5 and (set_x>45 or set_y <100) ):
print(count)
count=count+1
5 times.

Because the value of set_x is going

to be > 45 every time, the value of
set_y will be < 100 every time and
the count will move from 1 to 5
6

name='Susan'
x=1
while (name != 'Susan’):
print(x)
x=x+1
0 times

Because the condition

with the while loop is
false
 7

strl='bb'
count=9
while (not (strl !
= 'bb')):
print(count)
count=count+1
Infinite loop

Because the strl is

=='bb'

Totaling - while loops
 How does totaling work?
total=0
count=0
while(count<=4):
num=int(input(“Enter a number’))
total=total + num
count=count+1
print(“The total is”, total)
Averages - while loops
 How does averaging work?
total=0
count=0
while(count<=4):
num=int(input(“Enter a number’))
total=total + num
count=count+1
print(“The total is”, total)
avg=total/5
print("The average is", avg)
Counting - while loops
 How does counting work?
count=0
Grade_a=0
while(count<=4):
marks=int(input(“Enter your marks))
if( marks >=90 ):
Grade_a=Grade_a+1
count=count+1
print("The no of students who scored an A is", Grade_a)
 FINDING THE
MAXIMUM/MINIMUM VALUES
USING WHILE LOOPS

PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE

FOLLOWING SLIDES
1)When you have not been
given a range for the values
Write down the first number in the list, and call it 'max' For each number
in the list if it's bigger than 'max' replace the value of 'max' by the larger
value. When we're all done, 'max' is the largest number we found

Write down the first number in the list, and call it

'min' For each number in the list if it's smaller than
'min' replace the value of 'min’ by the smaller value.
When we're all done, 'min' is the smallest number we
found
Let's say you are asked to find
the maximum of 5 integers.
 How does finding max work?
maximum=int(input("Enter the 1st number"))
count=0
while(count<=3):
number=int(input(“Enter the number))
if( number > maximum):
maximum=number
count=count+1
Print("The maximum number entered is", maximum)
Let's say you are asked to find
the minimum of 5 integers.
 How does finding min work?
minimum=int(input("Enter the 1st number"))
count=0
while(count<=3):
number=int(input(“Enter the number))
if( number < minimum):
minimum=number
count=count+1
Print("The minimum number entered is", minimum)
2) When you have been given
a range for the values
From the range given to you, put the smallest value in the max variable
before starting the loop

From the range given to you, put the largest value in

the min variable before starting the loop
Let's say you are asked to find
the maximum of 5 ages. The
logical range of values for a
human's age will be 1-100
 How does finding max work?
maximum=1
count=0
while(count<=4):
age=int(input(“Enter the age))
if( age> maximum):
maximum=age
count=count+1
Print("The maximum age entered is", maximum)
Let's say you are asked to find
the minimum of 5 ages. The
logical range of values for a
human's age will be 1-100
 How does finding min work?
minimum=100
count=0
while(count<=4):
age=int(input(“Enter the age))
if( age< minimum):
minimum=age
count=count+1
Print("The minimum age entered is", minimum)
VALIDATION

While loops are also used for

validation inside other loops
Marks=float(input("Enter marks"))

while(Marks < 0 or Marks > 100):

Marks=float(input("The marks entered
were not between 0-100. Enter marks
again:"))

print(Marks, "are the marks entered")

 Practice Q17
• In a program , a user is asked to input the following:
• Full name
• Age
• Use a while loop to ensure that the user enters a valid
age(The age should not be a negative number and should
be a reasonable value)
