HPSC PGT(CS)- Python Subjective Series

Day 15
Syllabus Coverage

Flow of Control

- Use of indentation.

- Sequential, conditional, and iterative flow control.

- Conditional statements: `if`, `if-else`, `if-elif-else`.

- Simple programs: absolute value, sorting 3 numbers, divisibility of a number.

- Iterative statements: `for` loop, `while` loop, `range` function.

- Flowcharts for loops.

- `break` and `continue` statements, nested loops.

- Suggested programs: generating patterns, summation of series, factorial of a number.

Question of the day:


1. Explain the use of break and continue statements in loops with
examples. 5M
2. What is a nested loop? Give an example where nested loops are useful.
5M
1. Use of break and continue Statements in Loops

break Statement

• Purpose: Terminates the loop immediately when encountered.

• Use Case: Exiting a loop when a certain condition is met.

Example:

for num in range(1, 10):

if num == 5:

break # Loop stops when num=5

print(num)

Output:

2
3

(Loop exits at num=5 and does not print further.)

continue Statement

• Purpose: Skips the current iteration and moves to the next.

• Use Case: Bypassing specific values in a loop.

Example:

for num in range(1, 6):

if num == 3:

continue # Skips num=3

print(num)

Output:

(3 is skipped, but the loop continues.)

2. Nested Loops & Their Use Cases

Definition:

A nested loop is a loop inside another loop. The inner loop completes all its iterations for
each iteration of the outer loop.

Example (Printing a 2D Pattern):

for i in range(3): # Outer loop (rows)

for j in range(3): # Inner loop (columns)

print(f"({i},{j})", end=" ")

print() # New line after each row

Output:

(0,0) (0,1) (0,2)

(1,0) (1,1) (1,2)

(2,0) (2,1) (2,2)


Where Nested Loops Are Useful:

1. Pattern Printing (e.g., pyramids, matrices).

2. Multi-dimensional Data Processing (e.g., 2D lists, tables).

3. Grid-based Operations (e.g., board games like Tic-Tac-Toe).

4. Nested Searching (e.g., comparing elements in two lists).

Program of the day:


1. Print a pyramid pattern: 10M

Pyramid Pattern Program in Python


Approach:

1. Use nested loops:

o Outer loop → Controls the rows.

o First inner loop → Prints leading spaces (for left alignment).

o Second inner loop → Prints the stars (*).

2. Key Logic:

o Spaces decrease as we move down the rows.

o Stars increase in odd numbers (1, 3, 5, ...).

Program:

n = 4 # Number of rows

for i in range(1, n + 1):

# Print leading spaces

for j in range(n - i):

print(" ", end=" ")

# Print stars
for k in range(2 * i - 1):

print("*", end=" ")

# Move to the next line

print()

Output:

Explanation:

1. Loop 1 (i) → Runs for each row (1 to 4).

2. Loop 2 (j) → Prints (n - i) spaces (e.g., 4-1=3 spaces in Row 1).

3. Loop 3 (k) → Prints (2*i - 1) stars (e.g., 2*1-1=1 star in Row 1, 2*2-1=3 in Row 2, etc.).

4. print() → Moves to the next line after each row.

Alternative (Using String Multiplication):

n=4

for i in range(1, n + 1):

print(" " * (n - i) + "* " * (2 * i - 1))

Output :
