Loop Statement

• A loop is an instruction that repeats multiple times as long as some


condition is met.
• Looping simplifies complicated problems into smooth ones. It allows
programmers to modify the flow of the program so that rather than
writing the same code, again and again, programmers are able to repeat
the code a finite number of times.
• In Python, there are three different types of loops: for loop, while loop,
and nested loop.

Here, we will read about these different types of loops and how to use them.

❖ Types of Loops

Sr.No. Name of Loop Type & Description


the loop

1 While loop Repeats a statement or group of statements while a


given condition is TRUE. It tests the condition before
executing the loop body.

2 For loop This type of loop executes a code block multiple times
and abbreviates the code that manages the loop variable.

3 Nested We can iterate a loop inside another loop.

❖ For loop
• For loops are used for sequential traversal. For example: traversing a list
or string or array etc.
• In Python, there is “for in” loop which is similar to for each loop in other
languages. Let us learn how to use for in loop for sequential traversals.
• It can be used to iterate over a range and iterators.

Syntax :

1. for value in sequence:


2. {loop body}

s Concepts in Java

Example :

# Code to find the sum of squares of each element of the list using for loop

# creating the list of numbers


numbers = [3, 5, 23, 6, 5, 1, 2, 9, 8]
# initializing a variable that will store the sum
sum_ = 0
# using for loop to iterate over the list
for num in numbers:

sum_ = sum_ + num ** 2

print("The sum of squares is: ", sum_)

Output:

The sum of square is 774

❖ Iterating by the index of sequences

• We can also use the index of elements in the sequence to iterate.


• The key idea is to first calculate the length of the list and in iterate over the
sequence within the range of this length.
Example:
# Python program to illustrate Iterating by index
list = ["Topper", "World"]
for index in range(len(list)):
print(list[index])

Output:

Topper
World

❖ While Loop
• 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:
statement(s)

• All the statements indented by the same number of character spaces after
a programming construct are considered to be part of a single block of code.
• Python uses indentation as its method of grouping statements.

Example:

# Python program to illustrate while loop


count = 0
while (count < 3):
count = count + 1
print("Topper World")

Output:

Topper World
Topper World
Topper World

❖ Using else statement with While Loop in Python

• The else clause is only executed when your while condition becomes false.
If you break out of the loop, or if an exception is raised, it won’t be
executed.
Syntax:

while condition:
# execute these statements
else:
# execute these statements

Python Programming

Examples:

# Python program to illustrate combining else with while


count = 0
while (count < 3):
count = count + 1
print("Hello Geek")
else:
print("In Else Block")

Output:

Topper World

Topper World
Topper World
In Else Block

❖ Infinite While Loop in Python

If we want a block of code to execute infinite number of time, we can use


the while loop in Python to do so.

# Python program to illustrate Single statement while block


count = 0
while (count == 0):
print("Hello Geek")

Note: It is suggested not to use this type of loop as it is a never-ending


infinite loop where the condition is always true and you have to forcefully
terminate the compiler.

❖ Nested Loops
Python programming language allows to use one loop inside another
loop.
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)

Example:
# Python program to illustrate
# nested for loops in Python
from __future__ import print_function
for i in range(1, 5):
for j in range(i):
print(i, end=' ')
print()
