  1. Control Structures WHILE Statement Looping

  2. S E Q U REPITITION …or Iteration E N …a step or sequence of steps that are repeated until some condition is satisfied. C E

  3. Sometimes we want to repeat a bit of code many times. We use loops to achieve this! For example, if you wanted to output the same statement 3 times, we would use a FOR loop. This is because we know the number of iterations. RULE: use a FOR loop if the number of iterations is known. What if we don’t know the number of iterations? For example, iterate until the user enters a specific value…

  4. WHILE Loop Condition ? If condition is true Execute code block Like if statements, while loops evaluate whether a condition is true or false! The block is evaluated (iterated) until the condition becomes false. If condition is false

  5. Looping mechanisms in python… In Python, there are 2 looping mechanisms… WHILE LOOP LOOPS for a an unknown number of times! For example, output HELLO WORLD ? times until user types quit. FOR LOOP LOOPS for a specified number of times! For example, output HELLOW WORLD 3 times

  6. Syntax while <condition>: <block of code executed> Example, prompt the user to guess the password (dalriada) >>>password = (‘dalriada‘) guess = input(‘Please enter password: ‘) while guess != password: print(‘Access denied') guess = input(‘Please try again’) print(‘Access granted’)

  7. What will be output here?

  8. What will be output here? >>>number =1 while number < 5: print(number*number) number = number + 1

  9. What will be output here? >>>while x < 5: print(‘Hello’)
