Lab 12
Loops + Nested Loops

Objective:
The objective of this lab will be to learn about loops and nested loops with the help of examples
and learning tasks.

1) Useful Concepts
A loop is a block of code that gets repeated over and over again either a specified number of times or
untilsome condition is met which is why a loop runs only a finite number of times. If we specify a
condition that does not get fulfilled ever during loop iterations then it would go on forever and the
program would freeze.
1. One kind of a loop is a while loop. The syntax is given below. We specify a condition
in the round brackets after a while just like we do for the if statement. This loop keeps
on running while the statement passed is true(hence the name while).
while(<condition>):
// some code to repeat

2. Another kind of loop is a for-in loop. The syntax is given below. A for-in loop iterates
over a sequence (list, string, or range). The variable we use after for gets the value of
the next item in the sequence in each iteration while the variable after in is a sequence
which we want iterated on.
3. Sometimes we would want to nest loops. This can be done as well. This will
looksomething like this.

for <item_name> in <sequence_name>:

// some code to repeat
while(<some_condition>):
// some nested code to repeat

for <item_name> in <sequence_name>:

// some code to repeat

Activity 1:
Python program to illustrate a while loop.
Solution:
x = 0
while(x<4):
print ("The value of x is:”,
x)x = x + 1

Output
The value of x is: 0
The value of x is: 1
The value of x is: 2
The value of x is: 3

Activity 2:
Python program to illustrate an for in loop.

subjects = ['Math’s','English’,
‘Urdu']for subject in subjects:
print("The name of the subject is:",subject)

Output
The name of the subject is: Math’s.
The name of the subject is: English.
The name of the subject is: Urdu

Activity 3:
Python program to illustrate a nested loop.

subjects = ['Maths','English','Urdu']
grades = ['A','B']
for subject in subjects:
print("The name of the subject is:",subject)
for grade in grades:
print("The name of the grade is:", grade)

Output
The name of the subject is: Maths
The name of the grade is: A
The name of the grade is: B
The name of the subject is: English
The name of the grade is: A
The name of the grade is: B
The name of the subject is: Urdu
The name of the grade is: A
The name of the grade is: B

Lab Task 3
Write a program to ask user input for a number. Check if it is a prime number. If it is,
end the program but if it is not asked for the user input again till the user enters a prime
number.
