Loops in Python

The document discusses the different types of loops in Python including for, while, and nested loops. It provides definitions and syntax examples for each loop type as well as sample code and output. For loops are used to sequentially traverse lists, strings, or other iterables. While loops execute a block of code repeatedly until a condition is false. Nested loops allow placing one loop inside another.

LOOPS IN PYTHON

Loop definition:
In general, statements are executed sequentially: The first statement in a function is
executed first, followed by the second, and so on. There may be a situation when you
need to execute a block of code several number of times.
Programming languages provide various control structures that allow for more
complicated execution paths.
A loop statement allows us to execute a statement or group of statements multiple
times. The following diagram illustrates a loop statement −

TYPES OF LOOPS IN PYTHON:


1. For loop
2. While loop (do while loop)
3. Nested loop

For loop:
Def: For loops are used for sequential traversal. For example:
traversing a list or string or array etc. In Python, there is no C style for
loop, i.e., for (i=0; i<n; i++). There is “for in” loop which is similar to for
each loop in other languages

Syntax:
for i in (range or variable which can iterable):
@@@@//code which is going to execute throughout the loop
Note: @@@@ is indentation

Example: code
print("List Iteration")
l = ["geeks", "for", "geeks"]
for i in l:
print(i)
output:
List Iteration
geeks
for
geeks

While loop:
Def: In python, a while loop is used to execute a block of statements
repeatedly until a given condition is satisfied. And when the condition
becomes false, the line immediately after the loop in the program is
executed.
Syntax:
while expression:
@@@@//executable code
Example:CODE
count = 0
while (count < 3):
count = count + 1
print("Hello Geek")

output:
Hello Geek
Hello Geek
Hello Geek

Nested loop:
Def: Python programming language allows to use one loop inside
another loop. Following section shows few examples to illustrate the
concept.
Syntax:

for iterator_var in sequence:


for iterator_var in sequence:
statements(s)
statements(s)

The syntax for a nested while loop statement in the Python


programming language is as follows:

while expression:
while expression:
statement(s)
statement(s)
A final note on loop nesting is that we can put any type of loop inside of
any other type of loop. For example, a for loop can be inside a while
loop or vice versa.
Example:
from __future__ import print_function
for i in range(1, 5):
for j in range(i):
print(i, end=' ')
print()
OUTPUT:
1
2 2
3 3 3
4 4 4 4
