Iterations – understanding WHILE loops

Objectives:
Introduction
To understand…

…the use of the three basic


We were introduced to iterations last lesson and
programming constructs used to saw how we could program a count controlled loop
control the flow of a program:
• sequence in python (FOR Loop).
• selection
• iteration (count and condition
controlled loops)
Today we shall look at another type of iteration.

While loops will repeated whilst a certain condition


is true.

It is therefore known as a condition control loop.

We shall now look to see how these can be


programmed in Python.

If you create a condition where a variable

must remember to convert the variable’s
input into an integer (e.g. int())

Tasks
WHILE LOOP TASKS:

1.Write a program that asks the user to input a series of numbers and
adds them to a total until the user enters zero. (This stopping value is
often called a rogue value).

2.Write a program which asks the user to set a password and then
asks the user to enter the password again. Program it so that if the
second password doesn’t match the one set, the request to enter the
password is repeated until it does match the set password.

3.Write a program that asks the user for a number between 10 and 20
and validates (which means ‘tests’) that the input is within the correct
range. It should repeatedly ask the user for a number from this range
until the input is within the valid range.
