Conditional Statements & Loops: Advanced Operations Using for Loops in Python

Conditional Statements & Loops: Advanced Operations Using for Loops in Python

• discover the key concepts covered in this course
• terminate a for loop when a specific condition is met using the break statement
• recognize how the break statement affects the code in the else block of a for loop
• skip an iteration of a for loop when a specific condition is met using the continue statement
• use the continue statement along with the break statement within the same for loop
• convey the fact that no action is performed under specific conditions by using the pass statement
• create a list out of the contents of another list using a comprehension
• specify conditions in list comprehensions in order to filter elements used in the source list and to define the values in the newly created list
• write for loops that make use of the break and continue statements to control flow and use comprehensions to generate a list

Explore how iterating over elements using for loops can be controlled using the break and continue statements. Creating sequences from other sequences using comprehensions is also covered.

Conditional Statements & Loops: The Basics of for Loops in Python

Conditional Statements & Loops: The Basics of for Loops in Python

• discover the key concepts covered in this course
• use for loops to process the elements in a list and the characters in a string
• code for loops to iterate over values in a tuple and the keys and values in a dictionary
• recognize the function of associating an else block with a Python for loop
• include if-else statements and other for loops within a for loop
• generate a sequence of consecutive integers with the range function
• define the interval in a sequence of increasing and decreasing integers using the range function
• use the range function to iterate over a large range of values and apply it within nested for loops
• write for loops in order to iterate over 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional sequences

Loops are one way to perform the same operations repeatedly in a program. For loops are the control structure to use when the repeated operations are performed on a sequence such as a list or a tuple. Explore the different ways to iterate over a sequence using for loops.

Conditional Statements & Loops: While Loops in Python

Conditional Statements & Loops: While Loops in Python

• discover the key concepts covered in this course
• implement a basic while loop and recognize what conditions can cause it to become an infinite loop
• use while loops to carry out actions while evaluating expressions based on numerical and string data
• define while loops whose iterations depend on user input data
• recall the syntax for defining while loops within a single line
• iterate over a list of elements using while loops
• iterate over multiple lists and tuples using while loops
• identify when it is appropriate to use the break keyword to stop a while loop
• use the break statement in multiple scenarios to break out of a while loop and recognize the use of the pass keyword within such loops
• skip steps in individual iterations of a while loop using the continue statement
• compare while loops and for loops and implement a while loop which terminates only when the user enters a specific input

While loops are one way to keep repeating a set of actions until a specific condition is met. Explore the use of while loops, considerations when implementing while loops, and use cases for while loops and for loops.
