Lesson 817 of 1524
Loops
A loop else statement runs after the loop's execution is completed without being interrupted by a break statement
Practice this chapterA loop else statement runs after the loop's execution is completed without being interrupted by a break statement A break statement is used within a for or a while loop to allow the program execution to exit the loop once a given condition is triggered
A while loop runs a set of statements, known as the loop body, while a given condition, known as the loop expression, is true
break statement — used within a for or a while loop to allow the program execution to exit the loop once a given condition is triggered. loop's execution — completed without being interrupted by a break statement.
Be able to explain the loop construct in Python; use a while loop to implement repeating tasks; explain the for loop construct.
Worked example
What does “break statement” mean in Loops?
- 1Use the wording this chapter gives for break statement.
- 2The book says: used within a for or a while loop to allow the program execution to exit the loop once a given condition is triggered.
- 3Do not use the meaning of loop's execution. That term means completed without being interrupted by a break statement.
Result: used within a for or a while loop to allow the program execution to exit the loop once a given condition is triggered
Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for break statement.
Do not swap break statement and loop's execution. break statement means used within a for or a while loop to allow the program execution to exit the loop once a given condition is triggered. loop's execution means completed without being interrupted by a break statement.
