"While Loops In Python"

This PROGRAM or TUTORIAL about Python's "While Loops In Python"

DOC

As we know now what loops are and why are they used, in this section, I will go directly towards the working and syntax of while loop along with its comparison with for loop and where to use it.

The syntax for while loop is simple and very much like for loop. We have to use the keyword “while”, along with it we have to put a condition in parenthesis and after that, a colon is placed. The condition could be either true or false. Until the condition is true, the loop will keep on executing again and again. If we use a certain sort of condition in our while loop that, it never becomes false then the program will keep on running endlessly, until we stop it by force. So, this kind of mistake in our syntax is known as logical/human error.

Let us understand the concept of the while loop and why do we use it in areas where the number of iterations are not defined or we do not have any idea how many iterations would take place with the help of an example. Suppose that we have created an application for an ATM from where a customer can only withdraw money up to 5000 rupees. Now our condition in the while loop would be to iterate unless the input is between 1 to 5000. So, the condition will be true unless the user inputs a number between 1 to 5000, so the loop will iterate depending upon the time the user submits the wrong input,

For a While loop to run endlessly we can pass true or 1 as a condition. 1 is also used in place of writing true as a whole. So, in this case, the condition will never become false so the program will run endlessly. But these kinds of programs do not output anything because they could never complete their execution.

CODE

#While Loop in Python

"""A while loop in python runs a bunch of code or statements again and again
    until the given condition is true when the condition becomes false,
    the loop terminates its repetition."""

#To terminate an infinite loop, you can press Ctrl+C on your system.

i = 0
while i<=30:
    print(i)
    i=i+1

Python Exercise 7 --- "Snake, Water, Gun"

 Python Exercise 7 --- "Snake, Water, Gun" Today's task for you guys will be to develop your first-ever Python game i.e.,  "Snake Water Gun." (Just like --- Rock, Paper, Scissor) Most of you must already be familiar with the game. Still, I will provide you with a brief description. This is a two-player game where each player chooses one object.  As we know, there are three objects, snake, water, and gun. So, the result will be  Snake vs. Water: Snake drinks the water hence wins. Water vs. Gun: The gun will drown in water, hence a point for water Gun vs. Snake: Gun will kill the snake and win. In situations where both players choose the same object, the result will be a draw. Now moving on to instructions: You have to use a random choice function that we studied in tutorial #38, to select between, snake, water, and gun. You do not have to use a print statement in case of the above function. Then you have to give input from your side. After getting ten consecutive...

Python Tutorial 38 --- "Self & __init__() (Constructors)(OOPS 3)"

 Python Tutorial 38 --- "Self & __init__() (Constructors)(OOPS 3)" Doc --- In this tutorial, we will be discussing methods and constructors in detail. If you are familiar with any other object-oriented programming language, then the concept will be easy for you to grasp. So, let us begin with the Method. Method: A method is just like a function, with a  def  keyword and a single parameter in which the name of the object has to be passed. The purpose of the method is to show all the details related to the object in a single go. We choose variables that we want the method to take but do not have to pass all of them as parameters. Instead, we have to set the parameters we want to include in the method during its creation. Using methods make the process simpler and a lot faster.  Self keyword: The self keyword is used in the method to refer to the instance of the current class we are using. The self keyword is passed as a parameter explicitly every time we define a m...

Python Tutorial 13 --- "Short Hand If Else Notation In Python"

 Python Tutorial 13 --- "Short Hand If Else Notation In Python" This PROGRAM or TUTORIAL about Python's  "Short Hand If Else Notation In Python" DOC Before going through the if-else short-hand statement, we must be familiar with the basic definition, so we know what the short-hand statement actually is. In basic English, shorthand can be said as “a basic way of writing using abbreviations or symbols”. For example, we do not use the full name, Kentucky Fried Chicken, instead we use its abbreviation that is KFC. Writing in such a compact manner is known as shorthand. Now let us move towards the definition of shorthand with respect to the Python language. “An executable statement, written in so compact manner that it comprises of only a single line of code is known as shorthand statement.” Python supports many sorts of shorthand statements and with the help of these statements, we can write our code in a more compact sort or form using less space. We learned the or...
