Question;Answer

What is an iterative structure in programming?;An iterative structure, or loop,


allows repeating a block of code multiple times based on certain conditions.
Why are iterative structures fundamental in programming?;They automate repetitive
tasks, making code more efficient and concise.
What is a 'for' loop used for?;A 'for' loop iterates over a sequence or iterable
object, ideal for repeating operations a specific number of times.
When is a 'for' loop particularly useful?;When you want to execute code once for
each item in a collection or for a fixed range of values.
What is the basic syntax of a 'for' loop in Python?;for variable in sequence: (code
block)
What type of data structure is a list in Python?;A list is a collection of items
(numbers, strings, or other lists) stored in a specific order.
How do you access individual elements in a Python list?;By using an index, with
indexing starting at 0 for the first element.
Can 'for' loops iterate over strings in Python?;Yes, 'for' loops can iterate over
each character in a string individually.
What does the 'range()' function do in a 'for' loop?;It generates a sequence of
numbers for repeating an action a specific number of times.
What are the three parameters of the 'range()' function?;start, stop, and step.
What is the default starting value of the 'range()' function if 'start' is
omitted?;0
What does the 'stop' parameter in 'range()' represent?;It is the endpoint, but the
sequence stops at stop - 1.
What is the default 'step' value in the 'range()' function?;1
What is a 'while' loop used for?;A 'while' loop repeatedly executes a block of code
as long as a given condition is true.
What is the syntax of a basic 'while' loop in Python?;while condition: (code block)
What does the 'break' statement do in a loop?;It terminates the loop completely,
skipping any remaining iterations.
What is the purpose of the 'continue' statement in a loop?;It skips the current
iteration and moves to the next one.
How is 'break' typically used in loops?;To exit a loop when a specific condition is
met.
How is 'continue' used in loops?;To skip the rest of the code in the current
iteration and start the next iteration.
In a list, how would you find the first even number greater than 10 using a
loop?;Use a loop with a condition and a 'break' statement when the condition is
met.
What are nested loops?;Loops within loops, where each iteration of the outer loop
runs the inner loop completely.
When are nested loops commonly used?;For handling multi-dimensional data, repeated
patterns, and layered repetition scenarios.
What is the primary use of a 'for' loop with 'range()' and nested loops?;To
generate structured outputs like multiplication tables or grids.
If a loop has 'for i in range(3): for j in range(2): print(i, j)', what will the
output be?;0 0, 0 1, 1 0, 1 1, 2 0, 2 1
How does Python handle indentation in nested loops?;Each level of loop requires
additional indentation for its code block.
What would 'for i in range(3): print(i)' print?;0, 1, 2
What will be printed if a loop uses 'for i in range(5): if i == 3: break;
print(i)'?;0, 1, 2 (the loop stops at 3)
What will be printed if a loop uses 'for i in range(5): if i == 3: continue;
print(i)'?;0, 1, 2, 4 (3 is skipped)
