Objective 7: Understand Condition Controlled Iterations

The document discusses condition controlled iterations using while loops in Python. It provides examples of using while loops to repeat sections of code until a condition is met, such as repeating user input validation or generating random numbers. It also compares the syntax of a while loop to a for loop. The document suggests practicing with sample problems involving menu selection, guessing games, and other scenarios requiring conditional repetition.

Iterations & loops

Keyword: while

while is used to repeat a section of code a variable number of times.

while indicates the condition to stop repeating


The indented code underneath is the code to repeat.

Syntax:

choice = int(input("Please select an option in the range 1-3: "))

while ((choice <=1) or (choice >=3)):


choice = int(input("Please select an option in the range 1-3: "))

Iterations & loops

We can also use a while loo[ to count the number of times a section of code has run.

import random
ballsOut = 1

while (ballsOut < 8):


print(random.randint(1,50))
ballsOut = ballsOut +1

What does this code do?

Iterations & loops

Analysing the program:

import random

ballsOut = 1 Initialise the counting variable

Start loop while (ballsOut < 8): End loop condition


print(random.randint(1,50))
Increment ballsOut = ballsOut +1
