Python Looping Statements

Grade : 12
Introduction to Loops
Definition Purpose
Loops are programming They help automate and
constructs that allow simplify tasks that require
repetition of a set of repeated execution,
statements multiple times reducing code redundancy
based on a condition. and improving efficiency.

Types in Python
Python primarily uses two types of loops: 'for' loops and 'while'
loops, each suited for different scenarios.
For Loop
Definition Syntax

The 'for' loop in Python is used to iterate over a sequence for item in sequence:
(such as a list, tuple, string) or other iterable objects. It # code block to be executed
executes a block of code for each item in the sequence.
For Loop Flowchart

1 Start
Begin the loop process

2 Initialize Loop Variable


Set the initial value for the loop variable

3 Check Condition
Verify if there are more items in the sequence

4 Execute Code Block


If condition is true, execute the loop body

5 Increment
Move to the next item in the sequence

6 End
Exit the loop when no more items are left
For Loop Example
Scenario Code Output
Printing squares of numbers from 1
for i in range(1, 6): 1 squared is 1
to 5 print(f"{i} squared is 2 squared is 4
{i**2}") 3 squared is 9
4 squared is 16
5 squared is 25
While Loop
Definition Syntax

The 'while' loop in Python repeatedly executes a block of while condition:


code as long as a given condition is true. It's particularly # code block to be executed
useful when the number of iterations is unknown
beforehand.
While Loop Flowchart

1 Start
Begin the loop process

2 Check Condition
Evaluate the loop condition

3 Execute Code Block


If condition is true, execute the loop body

4 Update Condition
Modify the condition-controlling variable

5 Repeat
Go back to condition check

6 End
Exit the loop when condition becomes false
While Loop Example
Scenario Code Output
Countdown from 5 to 1
count = 5 5
while count > 0: 4
print(count) 3
count -= 1 2
print("Blastoff!") 1
Blastoff!
