LOOPING STATEMENTS

Looping statement are

the statements execute
one or more statement repeatedly several
number of times.
TYPES OF LOOPING STATEMENTS

 THERE ARE 2 LOOPING/ITERATIVE

STATEMENTS IN PYTHON
 WHILE LOOP
 FOR LOOP
range() function

The range() function generates a list which is a special sequence

type.
Syntax:
range(<lowerlimit>,<upperlimit>)
#both limits should be integers
this function in the form range(l,u)will produce a list having values
starting from l,l+1,l+2...u-1
but the lower limit is in list but upper limit is not included in the list
Example:range(0,5)
it will produce the list [0,1,2,3,4]
range (1,32,10)
it will produce the list[1,11,21,31]
STATEMENT VALUES GENERATED
range(10) (l=0,u=10) 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,89
range(5,10) 5,6,,7,8,9
range(3,7) 3,4,5,6
range(5,15,3) 5,8,11,14
range(9,3,-1) 9,8,7,6,5,4
range(10,1,-2) 10,8,6,4,2
in and not in operators-Membership
operators

 To check whether a value contained inside a list we can use in

operator
 example:
 3 in [1,2,3,4]
 will return True
 5 in [1,2,3,4]
 will return False
 5 not in [1,2,3,4]
 will return True
 “a” in “apple”
 will return True
 “ash”in “trash”
 will return True
ITERATION/LOOPING STATEMENTS

The iteration or repetition statements allows a

set of instructions to be performed
repeatedly until a certain condition is
satisfied
Python provides 2 kinds of loops :for loop and
while loop
for loop

The for loop is designed to process the items of

any sequence, such as list or a string one by
one.
for loop is a counting loops –the loop that
repeat a certain number of times
The general form of for loop is
for <variable> in <sequence>:
statements to repeat
Example:
for a in[10,40,20]:
print(a,a*a)
output:
10 100
40 1600
20 400
Working of for loop

 The loop variable is assigned the first value in

the sequence
 all the statements in the body of the for loop
are executed with assigned value of loop
variable
 the loop variable is assigned the next value in
the sequence an the loop body is executed(step
2 repeated)with the new value of loop-variable
 This continues until all values in the sequences
are processed.
Example

for c in “python”:
print(c)
output:
p
y
t
h
o
n
Example

for s in (1,2,3):
print(s+10)
output:
11
12
13
for loop with range function

for val in range(1,11,2):#[1,3,5,7,9]

print(val)
output:
1
3
5
7
9
output
x=20
y=5
for i in range(x-y *2): #(20-10)
#range(10) [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
print(“%”,i)
output:
%0
%1
%2
%3
%4
%5
%6
%7
%8
%9
program to print table of a given number

n=int(input(“Enter any one number”))

for a in range(1,11):[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
print(n,“X”,a,”=“,n*a)
output:
Enter any one number2
2 X 1 =2
2 X 2=4
......
2X10=20
program to find factorial of a given
number

num=int(input("enter a number")) #3
factorial=1
if num<0:
print("negative!Invalid")
elif num==0:
print(“factorial of “num
is ”, 1)
else:
for i in range(1,num+1):#[1,2,3]
factorial=factorial*i
print("factorial of ",num,"is",factorial)
while loop

The while loop is a conditional loop that will

repeat the instructions within itself as long as
condition remains True.
Syntax:
while<condition>:
loop body
 The loop-body may contain a single
statement or multiple statement or an empty
statement.
 The loop iterates while the logical expression
evaluates to True.When the expression
becomes false,the program control passes to
the line after the loop-body.
 Example:
a=5 #Initialization Expression
while a>0: #Test Expression
print(“welcome”,a) #Body of the loop
a=a-3 #UPDATE EXPRESSION
print(“Thank u!”)
output:
welcome 5
welcome 2
Thank u!
Elements of while loop

1. Initialization Expression
2. Test Expression
3. Body of the loop
4. Update Expression
EXAMPLE
nterms = int(input("How many terms? "))
n1, n2 = 0, 1
count = 0
while count < nterms:
print(n1)
nth = n1 + n2
n1 = n2
n2 = nth
count += 1
output:
How many terms? 6
0
1
1
2
3
5
Endless loop

The loop variable should be updated inside the body of the while in a
way that after some time the test condition becomes false otherwise
the loop will become an endless loop or infinite loop.
Example:
a=5
while a>0:
print(a)
print(“&&&&&”)
What is the output when the input is i)5
ii)0 ?

n=int(input("Enter N"))
i=1
sum=0
while i<n:
if i%2==0:
sum=sum+i
i=i+1
print(sum)
output

b) x=10
y=0
while x>y:
print(x,y)
x=x-1
y=y+1
c) keepgoing=True
x=100
while keepgoing:
print(x)
x=x-10
if x<50:
keepgoing=False
d) x=45
while x<50:
print(x)
e) for x in [1,2,3,4,5]:
print(x)
f)for x in range(5):
print(x)
g)for p in range(1,10):
print(p)
h)for q in range(100,50,-10):
print(q)
i)for z in range(-500,500,100):
print(z)
j)for y in range(500,100,100):
print("*",y)
k) x=10
y=5
for i in range(x-y*2):
print("%",i)
