Introduction to Loops in Python

Loops are used to print range-based data using a common repeatable block. They are also called iterative statements because they help enumerate data from a List, Tuple, Dictionary, Set, and even Database objects.

Example: If we want to print numbers from 1 to 1000, we use loop statements.

3) Nested For Loop Example in Python

Flow of Loop

• Forward: i = min → i ≤ max → i = i + 1 (range(min, max))
• Backward: i = max → i ≥ min → i = i - 1 (range(max, min, -1))
• Infinite: i = min/max, no condition, increment/decrement manually

Types of Loops

1) While Loop / While–Else Loop

Used for condition-based looping, including infinite loops.

Syntax:

init
while(condition):
    statement
    increment

Programs on While Loop

Q) Print 1 to 10

i = 1
while i <= 10:
    print(i)
    i = i + 1

Q) Print 10 to 1

i = 10
while i >= 1:
    print(i)
    i = i - 1

Q) Print Table of Any Number

num = int(input("Enter number"))
i = 1
while i <= 10:
    print(num, "*", i, "=", num*i)
    i = i + 1

Q) Print 1 to 5 and 5 to 1 in a single loop

i = 1
while i <= 10:
    if i <= 5:
        print(i)
    else:
        print(11 - i)
    i = i + 1

---

Infinite While Loop Example

flag = True
s = "Your long string here"
c = 0

while flag:
    print(s[c])
    c += 1
    if c == len(s):
        flag = False

Using break statement

while True:
    print(s[c])
    c += 1
    if c == len(s):
        break

---

Assignments on While Loop

1) Square & Cube of One Digit Number

start = int(input("Enter start"))
end = int(input("Enter end"))

i = start
while i < end:
    print(i, i*i, i*i*i)
    i += 1

2) Reverse a Number

num = 54326
s = ""

while num != 0:
    a = num % 10
    num = num // 10
    s = s + str(a)

print(s)

---

Prime Number Examples (Multiple Solutions)

Solution 1

num = int(input("Enter number"))
count = 0

i = 1
while i <= num:
    if num % i == 0:
        count += 1
    i += 1

if count == 2:
    print("Prime")
else:
    print("Not Prime")

Solution 2 (Efficient)

num = int(input("Enter number"))
i = 2
flag = 0

while i < num:
    if num % i == 0:
        flag = 1
        break
    i += 1

print("Prime" if flag == 0 else "Not Prime")

---

For Loop in Python

range() is used to define start and end of loop.

for i in range(min, max):
    statements

for i in range(max, min, -1):
    statements

---

Fibonacci Series

a = -1
b = 1

for i in range(1, 11):
    c = a + b
    print(c)
    a = b
    b = c

---

Factorial with Full Expression

num = int(input("Enter number"))
f = 1
s = ""

for i in range(num, 1, -1):
    f *= i
    s += str(i) + "*"

print("Factorial is", s + "1 =", f)

Nested For Loop Patterns

✔ Number patterns ✔ Alphabet patterns ✔ Pyramid patterns ✔ Alternating patterns All pattern programs from your raw content are preserved and formatted cleanly:

for i in range(5, 0, -1):
    for j in range(1, i+1):
        print(j, end=' ')
    print()

ATM Mini Project (While Loop)

flag = False
bal = 5000

for i in range(1, 4):
    pin = input("Enter PIN: ")
    if pin == "1234":
        flag = True
        break
else:
    print("Attempts over")

while flag:
    op = input("C=Credit, D=Debit, B=Balance, E=Exit: ")

    if op in ['C','c']:
        amount = int(input("Enter amount: "))
        bal += amount
        print("Balance:", bal)

    elif op in ['D','d']:
        amount = int(input("Enter amount: "))
        if bal >= amount:
            bal -= amount
            print("Balance:", bal)
        else:
            print("Insufficient balance")

    else:
        break

Infinite Loop → Text to Speech Example

pip install pyttsx3

import pyttsx3, time
engine = pyttsx3.init()

i = 1
while i <= 10:
    if i <= 5:
        engine.say("You are at floor {0}".format(i))
    else:
        engine.say("You are at floor {0}".format(11-i))
    time.sleep(1)
    engine.runAndWait()
    i += 1

Nested For Loop in Python

Using a nested for loop, we execute one loop inside another. Outer loop controls the rows, and the inner loop controls the columns.

for i in range(start, end):      # Outer loop → rows
    for j in range(start, end):  # Inner loop → columns
        Statement
    print()  # New line
