While Loops True or False Colon

▪ The while loop keeps executing a while expression:


piece of code as long as a particular
condition is True. do something.
▪ There must be a colon (:) at the end
of the while statement.
Indent
▪ The action to be performed must
be indented.
While Loops
▪ The condition that gets evaluated is Do
just an boolean expression.

Guessing Game
▪ Let’s build a simple guessing game.
▪ Get the computer to choose a
random integer from 0 to 100.
▪ Ask the user for a guess and allow the
user to input a guess or "q“.
▪ If the user inputs "q" print a nice
message and end the program.
▪ If the user enters a guess, tell them if
they should guess higher, lower, or if
they got it right.
▪ If they got it right, print a nice
message and quit.

Lecture Recap

▪Looping (aka iteration) is the second key control


structure in programming (if-statements/branching
was the first).
▪The basic idea of loops is to repeated execute the
same block code.
▪Looping is very powerful idea.
▪While loops.
