This document introduces loops in Python, specifically for and while loops, explaining their syntax and use cases. It covers the for loop with examples of range variants and the while loop with a caution about infinite loops. Additionally, it discusses loop control statements such as break, continue, and pass, along with practice problems for reinforcement.

📘 Coding – Day 6: Introduction to

Loops (For and While Loops)


🧠 Why Loops?

Loops help us execute a block of code multiple times without writing it again and again.

🔄 Types of Loops in Python

1. For Loop – Used when you know how many times to repeat.

2. While Loop – Used when repetition depends on a condition.

✅ 1. For Loop – Syntax:

python

Copy code

for i in range(5):

print(i)

🔍 Explanation:

 range(5) gives: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

 i takes each value one by one

 Output:

Copy code

📌 Range Variants

python
Copy code

range(start, stop) # from start to stop-1

range(start, stop, step) # step can skip numbers

Example:

python

Copy code

for i in range(2, 10, 2):

print(i)

# Output: 2, 4, 6, 8

✅ 2. While Loop – Syntax:

python

Copy code

i=0

while i < 5:

print(i)

i += 1

🔍 Explanation:

 Starts from 0

 Checks condition before every run

 Increments by 1 each time

⚠️ Be Careful: Infinite Loops

python

Copy code

while True:

print("This runs forever")

Use break inside loop to stop it.


🔁 Loop Control Statements

 break → exits the loop

 continue → skips to next iteration

 pass → does nothing (used as a placeholder)

Example:

python

Copy code

for i in range(5):

if i == 3:

continue

print(i)

# Output: 0, 1, 2, 4

🧠 Practice Problems:

1. Print all even numbers from 1 to 20.

2. Write a while loop to print "Hello" 10 times.

3. Use a for loop to calculate the sum of first 10 natural numbers.

4. Print multiplication table of 5 using a for loop.

✅ Summary:

Topic Description

for loop Repeats using range/sequence

while loop Repeats while condition true

break Stops the loop

continue Skips current iteration
