Session 10

Here we are using the range() function to generate a sequence of even numbers from 2 to 10 (not including 10) with a step of 2. The for loop then iterates over this sequence and prints each number.

Class Average

Given marks secured in CSE1001 by the


students in a class, design an algorithm and
write a Python code to determine the class
average. Print only two decimal digits in
average
Class Average
Input Processing Output

Number of students in Determine total of marks Class average


class, mark scored by secured by students of marks
each student
Find average of marks
Average marks scored by N number
of Students
Step 1: Start
Step 2 : Read Number Of Students
Step 3 : Initialize counter as 0
Step 4 : Input mark
Step 5 : Add the mark with total
Step 6 : Increment the counter by 1
Step 7: repeat Step 4 to Step 6 until counter less than number
of students
Step 7: Divide the total by number of students and store it in
average
Step 8: Display the average
Step 9: Stop

Repeatedly execute a set of statements
Need of iterative control
Repeated execution of set of statements
An iterative control statement is a control
statement providing repeated execution of a
set of instructions
Because of their repeated execution, iterative
control structures are commonly referred to
as loops.
While statement
Repeatedly executes a set of statements based
on a provided Boolean expression (condition).

All iterative control needed in a program can


be achieved by use of the while statement.
Syntax of While in Python
while test: # Loop test
statements # Loop body
else: # Optional else
statements
# Run if didn't exit loop with break
Example use
Sum of first n numbers
sum =0
current =1
n=3
while current <= n:
sum=sum + current
current = current + 1
Print values from 0 to 9 in a line
a=0; b=10
while a < b: # One way to code counter loops
print(a, end=' ')
a += 1 # Or, a = a + 1

Output:
0123456789

Include end= in print statement to suppress default

Break, continue, pass, and the Loop
else
break Jumps out of the closest enclosing loop
continue Jumps to the top of the closest
enclosing loop
pass Does nothing at all: its an empty
statement placeholder
Loop else block Runs
if and only if the loop is exited normally (i.e.,
without hitting a break)
Break statement
while True:
name = input('Enter name:')
if name == 'stop': break
age = input('Enter age: ')
print('Hello', name, '=>', int(age) ** 2)
Output:
Enter name:bob
Enter age: 40
Hello bob => 1600
Pass statement
Infinite loop
while True: pass
# Type Ctrl-C to stop me!
Print all even numbers less than 10

Pattern Generation
Your teacher has given you the task to draw the structure of a
staircase. Being an expert programmer, you decided to make a
program for the same. You are given the height of the
staircase. Given the height of the staircase, write a program to
print a staircase as shown in the example. For example,
Staircase of height 6:
#
##
###
####
#####
######
Boundary Conditions: height >0

To create a step print character

Boundary condition check fails
For iteration
In while loop, we cannot predict how many
times the loop will repeat
The number of iterations depends on the
input or until the conditional expression
remains true
While loop is ideal when stop criteria is not
explicit
Control flow of for statement
Syntax of for Statement
for target in object:
# Assign object items to target
statements
if test: break # Exit loop now, skip else
if test: continue # Go to top of loop now
else: statements # If we didn't hit a
'break
For and Strings
for iterating_var in sequence or range:
statement(s)
Example:
for letter in 'Python':
print 'Current Letter :', letter
For and Strings
When the above code is executed:

Current Letter : P
Current Letter : y
Current Letter : t
Current Letter : h
Current Letter : o
Current Letter : n
For and Range
for n in range(1, 6):
print(n)
When the above code is executed:

range function call
Syntax - range( begin,end,step )
where
Begin - first value in the range; if omitted, then default value
is 0
end - one past the last value in the range; end value may not
be omitted
Step - amount to increment or decrement; if this parameter
is omitted, it defaults to 1 and counts up by ones

begin, end, and step must all be integer values;


floating-point values and other types are not allowed
Example for Range
range(10) 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
range(1, 10) 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
range(1, 10, 2) 1,3,5,7,9
range(10, 0, -1) 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
range(10, 0, -2) 10,8,6,4,2
range(2, 11, 2) 2,4,6,8,10
range(-5, 5) 5,4,3,2,1,0,1,2,3,4
range(1, 2) 1
range(1, 1) (empty)
range(1, -1) (empty)
range(1, -1, -1) 1,0
range(0) (empty)
Print Even Numbers Using Range
>>> for i in range(2,10,2):
print(i)

Output:
