WHILE LOOP IN PYTHON


WHILE LOOP IN PYTHON

Loops are used to execute a piece of code or set of statements multiple times in a program as long as the condition is true. While loop is the basic loop structure in Python.

Syntax:
While (expression):
            Statement(s)

Here, condition may be any logical expression and statement(s) can be single statement or multiple statements. The loop will iterate or execute until the condition is true. When the condition becomes false, program comes out of the loop and remaining statements are executed. In Python language, during any of the decision making, control statements and looping indentation is very important because, it specifies the set of statements to be a part of single code or block. Since no brackets are used to specify the complete code with in, indentation is used.

Flowchart:



In While loop, the main important thing is the loop may never be executed if the condition is not satisfied and it will execute the first statement after the while loop.
You can use while loop with if...else as per the program requirement.
Watch my video to get the detailed view of how to use while loop with a practical explanation.

COMPARISON, LOGICAL, ASSIGNMENT AND BITWISE OPERATORS

COMPARISON, LOGICAL, ASSIGNMENT AND BITWISE OPERATORS In this blog we will see about Arithmetic operators and understand how to use it with Python IDLE to perform certain calculations. PYTHON COMPARISON OPERATORS OPERATOR DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE        == Checks whether LHS is equal to RHS, then the condition becomes true 10==10 is true        != Checks whether LHS is not equal to RHS, then the condition becomes true 2!=3 is true        > Checks whether LHS is greater than RHS, then the condition becomes true 6>3 is true        < Checks whether LHS is less than RHS, then the condition becomes true 6<10 is true        >= Checks whether LHS is gre...

BUILT INS FUNCTIONS IN PYTHON

BUILT INS FUNCTIONS IN PYTHON Every programming languages have certain pre-defined functions. Similarly, for certain tasks python has built in functions which you can access and understand as explained in the video.   dir(__builtins__): This module will return all the built in function and identifiers directly available to the programmer.   help(“function name”): This is the most important function in python. It gives the complete detail regarding the function which you mentioned inside help().
