for loop in python

The for loop is a common iterator in Python. Python for loops iterate over an object until it is complete. For example, you can iterate over the contents of a list or a string. It can step through the items in an ordered sequence or other iterable objects.

The for loop statement supports strings, lists, tuples, and other built-in iterables as well as new user-defined objects.

Syntax

	for iterating_var in sequence:
  print(iterating_var)
	

			
	
			

		
	

Looping through a String

	for letter in "codejagd":
  print(letter)
	

			
	
			

		
	

Output

	c
o
d
e
j
a
g
d
	

			
	
			

		
	

For Loop Example

	friends = ['Ross', 'Jim', 'Pat', 'Steve']

for friend in friends:
    print("Hello " + friend)
	

			
	
			

		
	

Output

	Hello Ross
Hello Jim
Hello Pat
Hello Steve

The range() Function

We can generate a sequence using the range() function. The range(10) will generate numbers from 0 to 9 (10 numbers).

Syntax

	range( begin, end, step )
	

			
	
			

		
	

Here ,

• begin is the initial value given in the range; the default value becomes zero if this is not included.
• end is the value that comes after the last value in the range; the end value is not deleted.
• step indicates the amount to increment or decrement; it defaults to 1 (increments by one) if the change parameter is omitted.

	for number in range(7):
  print(number)
	

			
	
			

		
	

Output

	0
1
2
3
4
5
6
	

			
	
			

		
	

The range() function defaults to as a starting value. Now , lets specify the start value in range()

	for number in range(2, 7):
  print(number)
	

			
	
			

		
	

Output

	2
3
4
5
6
	

			
	
			

		
	

The range() function defaults to increment the sequence by 1.However it is possible to specify the increment value by adding a third parameter.

	for number in range(1, 9, 2):
  print(number)
	

			
	
			

		
	

Output

	1
3
5
7

Nested For Loops

A nested loop is a loop inside a loop. The inner loop will be executed one time for each iteration of the outer loop.

	teams = ['LiverPool', 'Real Madrid', 'Manchester City', 'Chelsea']

for home_team in teams:
  for away_team in teams:
    if home_team != away_team:
      print(home_team + ' vs ' + away_team)
	

			
	
			

		
	

Output

	LiverPool vs Real Madrid
LiverPool vs Manchester City
LiverPool vs Chelsea
Real Madrid vs LiverPool
Real Madrid vs Manchester City
Real Madrid vs Chelsea
Manchester City vs LiverPool
Manchester City vs Real Madrid
Manchester City vs Chelsea
Chelsea vs LiverPool
Chelsea vs Real Madrid
Chelsea vs Manchester City

Break/Continue

The break Statement

When you create for loops, sometimes you may want to end the loop early, stopping the loop when a certain criterion has been fulfilled, rather than iterating through the entire loop. The break keyword is utilized to end a loop early by exiting a loop and moving on to the next line in the program

	fruits = ['Mango', 'Lemon', 'Banana', 'Apple', 'Cherry',
'Watermelon', 'Orange']

for fruit in fruits:
    print(fruit)
    if(fruit == 'Cherry'):
        print("Cherry Here")
        break
print("That's It")
	

			
	
			

		
	

Output

	Mango
Lemon
Banana
Apple
Cherry
Cherry Here
That's It
	

			
	
			

		
	

The continue Statement

With the continue statement we can stop the current iteration of the loop, and continue with the next

	numbers = [24, 46, 22, 37, 62, 15, 19, 37, 45]

for i in numbers:
    if i % 2 == 0:
        continue
    print(i)
	

			
	
			

		
	

Output

	37
15
19
37
45
	

			
	
			

		
	

else Keyword in For Loop

The else keyword in a for loop specifies a block of code to be executed when the loop is finished.

	for x in range(4):
  print(x)
else:
  print("Done")
	

			
	
			

		
	

Output

	0
1
2
3
Done
	

			
	
			

		
	

Note: The else block will NOT be executed if the loop is stopped by a break statement.
