    Python While Loop

    Uploaded by

    Pawan Kumar
    The Python while loop allows code to be repeatedly executed as long as a condition is true, it can be used when the number of iterations is unknown, and it executes statements or blocks of code as long as its expression remains true, breaking out of the loop if the expression becomes false.

    Python While loop

    The Python while loop allows a part of the code to be executed until the given condition
    returns false. It is also known as a pre-tested loop.

    It can be viewed as a repeating if statement. When we don't know the number of


    iterations then the while loop is most effective to use.

    The syntax is given below.

    1. while expression:
    2. statements

    Here, the statements can be a single statement or a group of statements. The


    expression should be any valid Python expression resulting in true or false. The true is
    any non-zero value and false is 0.
    While loop Flowchart

    Example-1: Program to print 1 to 10 using while loop


    1. i=1
    2. #The while loop will iterate until condition becomes false.
    3. While(i<=10):
    4. print(i)
    5. i=i+1

    Output:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    8
    9
    10

    Example -2: Program to print table of given numbers.


    1. i=1
    2. number=0
    3. b=9
    4. number = int(input("Enter the number:"))
    5. while i<=10:
    6. print("%d X %d = %d \n"%(number,i,number*i))
    7. i = i+1

    Output:

    Enter the number:10


    10 X 1 = 10

    10 X 2 = 20

    10 X 3 = 30

    10 X 4 = 40

    10 X 5 = 50

    10 X 6 = 60

    10 X 7 = 70

    10 X 8 = 80

    10 X 9 = 90

    10 X 10 = 100

    Infinite while loop


    If the condition is given in the while loop never becomes false, then the while loop will
    never terminate, and it turns into the infinite while loop.

    Any non-zero value in the while loop indicates an always-true condition, whereas zero
    indicates the always-false condition. This type of approach is useful if we want our
    program to run continuously in the loop without any disturbance.

    Example 1
    1. while (1):
    2. print("Hi! we are inside the infinite while loop")

    Output:
    Hi! we are inside the infinite while loop
    Hi! we are inside the infinite while loop

    Example 2
    1. var = 1
    2. while(var != 2):
    3. i = int(input("Enter the number:"))
    4. print("Entered value is %d"%(i))

    Output:

    Enter the number:10


    Entered value is 10
    Enter the number:10
    Entered value is 10
    Enter the number:10
    Entered value is 10
    Infinite time

    Using else with while loop


    Python allows us to use the else statement with the while loop also. The else block is
    executed when the condition given in the while statement becomes false. Like for loop, if
    the while loop is broken using break statement, then the else block will not be executed,
    and the statement present after else block will be executed. The else statement is
    optional to use with the while loop. Consider the following example.

    Example 1
    1. i=1
    2. while(i<=5):
    3. print(i)
    4. i=i+1
    5. else:
    6. print("The while loop exhausted")

    Example 2
    1. i=1
    2. while(i<=5):
    3. print(i)
    4. i=i+1
    5. if(i==3):
    6. break
    7. else:
    8. print("The while loop exhausted")

    Output:

    1
    2
    In the above code, when the break statement encountered, then while loop stopped its
    execution and skipped the else statement.

    Example-3 Program to print Fibonacci numbers to given limit


    1. terms = int(input("Enter the terms "))
    2. # first two intial terms
    3. a = 0
    4. b = 1
    5. count = 0
    6.
    7. # check if the number of terms is Zero or negative
    8. if (terms <= 0):
    9. print("Please enter a valid integer")
    10. elif (terms == 1):
    11. print("Fibonacci sequence upto",limit,":")
    12. print(a)
    13. else:
    14. print("Fibonacci sequence:")
    15. while (count < terms) :
    16. print(a, end = ' ')
    17. c=a+ b
    18. # updateing values
    19. a=b
    20. b=c
    21.
    22. count += 1

    Output:

    Enter the terms 10


    Fibonacci sequence:
    0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34
