 For Loop

▰ A for loop is used for iterating over a sequence (that is either a list, a tuple, a dictionary, a set,
or a string).

▰ Example: Print each fruit in a fruit list:

6
 Looping Through a String

➢ Even strings are iterable objects, they contain a sequence of characters:

➢ Example: Loop through the letters in the word "banana":

7
 Looping Through Range

➢ To loop through a set of code a specified number of times, we can use the range() function,

➢ The range() function returns a sequence of numbers, starting from 0 by default, and
increments by 1 (by default), and ends at a specified number.

➢ Example: Loop through the range of 10 (means from 0 to 9)

8
 Looping Through Range

➢ The range( ) function defaults to 0 as a starting value, however it is possible to specify the
starting value by adding a parameter: range(3, 9), which means values from 3 to 9 (but not
including 9):

9
 Example:

➢ Use function multiply to product all numbers from (1 to 10) by using for loop.

10
 Example:

➢ Create empty list, with name “cube” then add values between 0 and 10 and each value is
raised to the power of three values using for loop.

11
 Looping Through Range

➢ The range() function defaults to increment the sequence by 1, however it is possible to

specify the increment value by adding a third parameter: range(2, 30, 3):

➢ Example: Increment the sequence with 3 (default is 1):

12
 Using len( )

➢ Len( ) is a function that used for computing length of string or length of list as example

To print the index of list using range ( ) and len ( ) in for loop

15
 Else in For Loop

➢ The else keyword in a for loop specifies a block of code to be executed when the loop is
finished:

➢ Example: Print all numbers from 0 to 5, and print a message when the loop has ended:

17
 Else in For Loop

➢ The else keyword in a for loop specifies a block of code to be executed when the loop is
finished:

➢ Example: Print all numbers from 0 to 5, and print a message when the loop has ended:

18
 Else in For Loop

➢ Note: The else block will NOT be executed if the loop is stopped by a break statement.

➢ Example: Break the loop when x is 3, and see what happens with the else block:

19
 Else in For Loop

➢ Note: The else block will NOT be executed if the loop is stopped by a break statement.

➢ Example: Break the loop when x is Dalia, and see what happens with the else block:

20
 Example

To search for an index in the list

21
 The break Statement

➢ With the break statement we can stop the loop before it has looped through all the items:

➢ Example: Exit the loop when x is "banana":

22
 The break Statement

➢ Exit the loop when x is "banana", but this time the break comes before the print:

23
 Nested Loops

➢ A nested loop is a loop inside a loop.

➢ The "inner loop" will be executed one time for each iteration of the "outer loop":

➢ Example: Print each adjective for every fruit:

24
 The pass Statement

➢ for loops cannot be empty, but if you for some reason have a for loop with no content, put
in the pass statement to avoid getting an error.

25
 The continue Statement

➢ With the continue statement we can stop the current iteration of the loop, and continue
with the next:

➢ Example: Do not print banana:
