We continue loop today and add the concepts of \u2018break\u2019 and \u2018continue\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Break is used to exit a loop entirely.
Continue is used to exit only the current iteration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Type and run<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    count= 0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    while True:
    if count==5:
    break
    print(\u2018Kurosaki-kun\u2019)
    count = count+1
    print(\u201cTime for the next episode\u201d)
    print(count)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The last two print commands are outside the loop. The first print command and the counter update is inside the loop . Take note of the indentation. The if condition is of course inside the loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      for band in bandListA:
      if band==\u2019AC\/DC\u2019:
      continue
      print(\u2018%s is a Bangladeshi band\u2019 %band)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Type and run<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        proposedNames = [\u2018Iron Man\u2019, \u2018Black Widow\u2019, \u2018Captain America\u2019, \u2018Quick Silver\u2019, \u2018Firestar\u2019, \u2018Thor\u2019, \u2018Invisible Woman\u2019, \u2018Scarlet Witch\u2019, \u2018Black Panther\u2019, \u2018Captain Marvel\u2019,\u2019Falcon\u2019,\u2019She-Hulk\u2019]
        confirmedList =[]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        for name in proposedNames:
        if name==\u2019Quick Silver\u2019 or name==\u2019Scarlet Witch\u2019:
        continue
        elif name==\u2019Captain Marvel\u2019:<\/strong>
        confirmedList.append(name)
        print(\u2018We got Captain Marvel on the team! We need no more!!\u2019)
        break
        else:
        confirmedList.append(name)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        print(\u201cThe confirmed team for the mission is as follows:\u201d)
        print(confirmedList)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. You could have done the above with two if conditions instead of if-elif-else. Also, you could have defined a separate list of names as \u2018RejectList\u2019 and use \u2018continue\u2019 to ignore them. Or you could just do this:<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          confirmedList =[] # resetting confirmedList as an emptyLIst. ProposedNames is as before so not defining again<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          for name in proposedNames:
          if name in [\u2018Quick Silver\u2019,\u2019Scarlet Witch\u2019]:
          continue
          if name==\u2019Captain Marvel\u2019:
          confirmedList.append(name)
          print(\u2018We got Captain Marvel on the team! We need no more!!\u2019)
          break
          confirmedList.append(name)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          print(\u201cThe confirmed team for the mission is as follows:\u201d)
          print(confirmedList)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          What is the difference from the previous code in #3?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          1. When is an infinite loop setup intentional? Mostly in cases where we have a safety measure such as \u2018break\u2019 to come of the loop when a certain condition is met (well, in that case, we can\u2019t really call our setup an infinite loop, right? Let\u2019s call it a fake infinite loop \ud83d\ude1b )<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Type and run<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            from random import randint #we are importing a function \u2018randint\u2019
            #from a special library \u2018random\u2019
            #that will help us generate random numbers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            while True:
            someNumber = randint(1,6) #generates a number between 1 to 6 inclusive
            print(someNumber)
            if someNumber==6:
            print(\u2018Chokka!!!!\u2019)
            break<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Try running the cell where you have written the above code several times! You will get different outputs each time \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            1. We now make the code above a little more upgraded to depict real-time ludu playing feelings!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Type and run. Well, run several times \ud83d\ude00
              (You have already imported randint \u2013 so not importing it again).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              chaal=0
              while True:
              someNumber = randint(1,6) #generates a number between 1 to 20 inclusive
              print(someNumber)
              chaal=chaal+1
              if someNumber==6:
              print(\u2018Chokka!!!!\u2019)
              break
              if chaal%4==0:
              print(\u2018Uff, why no chokka yet! :\/ \u2018)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
