Lab 10 - Loops

For / While Loops:


 For loops are traditionally used when you have a piece of code which you want to repeat n number of
times. As an alternative, there is the While Loop, however, while is used when a condition is to be met,
or if you want a piece of code to repeat forever, for example

For Loop:

for x in range(0, 3):


print ("We're on ", x)

 The for loop runs for a fixed amount - in this case, 3


 Note that the index of the loop "x" goes from 0 to 2 to count its 3 times)

While Loop:
x = 1
while True:
print ("To infinity and beyond! We're getting
close, on ", x)
x += 1

 the while loop theoretically runs forever (though you can set a stopping condition)
 Example: Invent a loop that prints all numbers starting from certain positive integer until it reaches zero

x = 5
while x > 0:
print (x)
x = x - 1

Loop on Lists/Strings:
 For statement can be used to iterate over the elements of a sequence (such as a string, tuple or list).

string = "Hello World"


for x in string:
print (x)
 Example: Invent a loop that calculates the summation of a list of integers
myList = [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21]
sum = 0
for element in myList:
sum = sum + element
print (sum)

Early Exit:
 Python includes statements to exit a loop (for/ while). To exit a loop, use the break statement.

for x in range(3):
print (x)
if x == 1:
break

 Example: Invent a loop that will search a list until it finds a certain number then print "found",
otherwise it prints " Not found"
myList = [5, 2, 10, 3, 70]
target = 10
found = False
for num in myList:
if num == target:
found = True
break
if found:
print ("Target found!")
else:
print ("Target not found!")

Continue Statement:
 The continue statement continues with the next iteration of the loop. It can be used for both (for/while)
loops

 Example: This loop will print only the even numbers in a list of integers:

myList = [5, 2, 10, 3, 70]


for num in myList:
if num % 2 == 1: # if the number is odd just continue to
continue # the next number
print (num) # else print the even number

Problems:

1- Write a program that counts the number of positive numbers and the number of even numbers in a list.
Input: [2, 1, -9, 5, 6, -3, 8] Output:
Number of positive numbers = 5
Number of even numbers = 3

array = list(input())
positiveCount = 0
evenCount = 0
for element in array:
if element%2 == 0:
evenCount = evenCount+1
if element > 0:
positiveCount = positiveCount+1
print evenCount
print positiveCount

2- Write a program that prints the length of a list without using the len() function.
Input: [2, 1, -9, 0, 6, -3, 8] Output: length = 7

array = list(input())
count = 0
for element in array:
count = count +1

print count

3- Extend Last lab practice of students' grades to print the grade of N students, where you will get N from the
user.

n = input()
while n > 0:
score = int(input("Enter Your Grade"))
if score >= 90:
letter = 'A'
elif score >= 80:
letter = 'B'
elif score >= 70:
letter = 'C'
elif score >= 60:
letter = 'D'
else:
letter = 'F'
print (letter)
n -= 1

4- Given a string and a non-negative int n, return a larger string that is n copies of the original string

n = input()
str = input()
count = 0
result = ""
while count < n:
result += str
count += 1

print result
