Loops

What is a Loop?

A loop is like giving instructions to a robot. Instead of telling it to do the same thing over and over, you tell it to
repeat the action until you say stop.

Example in Real Life:

Imagine you want to say "Hello" to 5 people. Instead of saying it 5 times:

1. Hello
2. Hello
3. Hello
4. Hello
5. Hello

You can simply tell someone, "Say 'Hello' 5 times." That’s a loop! You give the instruction once, and it repeats
the action for you.

In Programming:

If you want to print numbers from 1 to 5, you don’t have to write:

Figure 1 with loops

Figure 2 wuthout loops


Types of Loops:
While Loop:

 Use it when you're not sure how many times to repeat, but you know when to stop.
 Example: You keep printing numbers until you reach 5.

see here what you do is first initialize the value of i=1 (i is the loop varaible) then a keyword came
While (jabtak), so this means reapeat whatever code is inside { } these bracket until the value of I become
equal or less than 5.
Here if we see inside currly bracket there is a print condition which prints value of i, so in 1st iteration
the value 1 will be printed then it will encounter a increment operator so the value of i will become 2 for the
second loop iteration

Do-While Loop:

 It’s like a "while loop" but guarantees that the code runs at least once.
 Example: Print a number, then check if it’s less than or equal to 5.
 In this it first do whatever is written is {} then afterwards it check the condition in while
For Loop:

 Use it when you know how many times to repeat something.


 Example: You know you need to print 5 numbers.

Here for loop can be divided into 3 parts


1. Initialization – means giving the value to loop variable
2. Condition – here we the that condtion till when the loop should run
3. Increment or decrement – this is very important because after everyloop the value of “i” will be
increased by 1. So this helps in satisfying the condition
When you initialize I = 1 then in memory it stores I value to 1, afterwards it checks the condtion if the value of
I is less than 5 or not if it is less, it will increment it by 1 and excecutes whatever is in {} – this is called block
Question

Print numbers from 1 to 10

 Write a program using a loop to print numbers from 1 to 10.

2. Sum of first 5 numbers

 Write a program to calculate the sum of the first 5 natural numbers (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5).

3. Print even numbers from 1 to 20

 Write a loop to print all even numbers between 1 and 20.

5. Tracking Daily Steps

 You’re tracking your steps for a week. Write a loop to enter your daily step count and calculate the total
steps for the week.
