Loops – for and while

Loops are fundamental constructs in programming that allow for the execution of a block of code multiple times based on certain conditions. This chapter covers two primary types of loops in Python: 'for' loops, which iterate over sequences, and 'while' loops, which continue until a specified condition becomes false. Additionally, control statements like break, continue, and pass are discussed to manage loop behavior more effectively.

    Loops – For And While

    This section explores loops in Python, focusing on 'for' and 'while' loops, their syntax, and how to efficiently execute repetitive tasks.

  • 5.1

    What Are Loops?

    Loops allow for executing a block of code multiple times in Python, using for loops and while loops.

  • 5.2

    The For Loop

    The 'for' loop in Python is a powerful construct that allows you to iterate over sequences, enabling efficient execution of code blocks multiple times.

  • 5.3

    The While Loop

    The while loop in Python allows for repeated execution of a block of code as long as a specified condition remains true.

  • 5.4

    Break, Continue, And Pass

    This section discusses the control flow statements 'break', 'continue', and 'pass' in Python loops, explaining how they affect loop execution.

  • 5.5

    Nested Loops

    Nested loops involve placing one loop inside another, allowing for more complex iteration over data structures.

  • 5.6

    Try It Yourself

    This section presents hands-on exercises to apply knowledge of loops in Python.
