Programming Fundamentals

Department of CS&IT

Loops
Introduction:
A loop can be used to tell a program to execute
statements repeatedly. Suppose that you need to
display a string (e.g., Programming is fun!) 100
times. It would be tedious to type the statement
100 times:
print("Programming is fun!")
print("Programming is fun!")
print("Programming is fun!")…….

Intro….
So, how do you solve this problem?
Python provides a powerful construct
called a loop, which controls how many
times in succession an operation (or a
sequence of operations) is performed. By
using a loop statement, you don’t have to
code the print statement a hundred
times; you simply tell the computer to
display a string that number of times.

Types of Loops.
Python provides two types of loop.
1. For loop
2. while loop

4
1. While Loop
A while loop executes statements repeatedly
as long as a condition remains true.
The syntax for the while loop is:

while loop-continuation-condition:
# Loop body
Statement(s)

5
The while loop repeatedly executes the statements in
the loop body as long as the loop-continuation-
condition evaluates to True.
Print numbers from 1 to 10
i=0
while i < 10:
i=i+1
print(i)
Print numbers from 1 to 10 with string:
i=0
while i < 10:
i=i+1
print(i,"Computer Programming")
Sum of numbers:

sum = 0
i=1
while i < 10:
sum = sum + i
i=i+1
print("sum is", sum) #
Activity
Guess the number:
Write a program where the user enters a
number. If the number matches the number,
acknowledge the user and stop the program. If
the number does not match, keep asking for
the next number.

Expected Output:
import random

number = random.randint(0, 100)


print("Guess a magic number between 0 and
100")
guess =-1
while guess != number:
guess = eval(input("Enter your guess: "))
if(guess == number):
print("Yes, the number is", number)
elif guess > number:
print("Your guess is too high")
else:
print("Your guess is too low")
2. For Loop

A Python for loop iterates through each


value in a sequence.
Comparision of For and While loop syntax:
while Loop:
i = initialValue # Initialize loop-control variable
while i < endValue:
# Loop body
...
i += 1 # Adjust loop-control variable

For Loop:
A for loop can be used to simplify the preceding loop:
for i in range(initialValue, endValue):
# Loop body

In general, the syntax of a for loop is:

for var in sequence:


Range Function:

To iterate over a sequence of numbers, the built-in


function range() comes in handy. It generates arithmetic
progressions. For example, if we want to print a whole
number from 0 to 10, it can be done using a range(11)
function in a for loop.
In a range() function we can also define an optional start
and the endpoint to the sequence. The start is always
included while the endpoint is always excluded.
Example:
for i in range(1, 6):
print("Hello World!")

Output: Prints Hello World! five times


The range() function also takes in another optional parameter i.e.
step size. Passing step size in a range() function is important
when you want to print the value uniformly with a certain
interval.
Step size is always passed as a third parameter where the first
parameter is the starting point and the second parameter is the
ending point. And if the step_size is not provided it will take 1 as
a default step_size.
Example:
for i in range(0,20, 2):
print(i)
Output: prints all the even numbers till 20
Loop through String:

for x in 'Python':
print(x)

Output:
P
Y
t
h
o
n
Program that print numb from 1 to 10:

for i in range(11):
print(i)
Program that print numb from 1 to 10
with string:

for i in range(11):
print(i,"programming")
Convert while loop into For loop:
i=1
sum = 0
while i<=10:
sum = sum + i
print(i,sum)
i += 1
Activity:

Write a program to find the sum of all the numbers less


than a number entered by the user. Display the sum.
Suppose the input is 2 3 4 5 0 (one number per
line). What is the output of the following code?

number = 0
sum = 0
for count in range(5):
number = eval(input("Enter an integer: "))
sum += number
print("sum is", sum)
print("count is", count)
