Ask if You Want to Run Through the Loop Again
iv. Conditionals and loops¶
iv.1. Conditional execution¶
4.1.1. The if
statement¶
In order to write useful programs, we almost ever need the ability to check conditions and change the behavior of the program accordingly. Provisional statements give u.s. this ability. The simplest form is the if statement, which has the genaral form:
if BOOLEAN EXPRESSION : STATEMENTS
A few important things to notation nigh if
statements:
-
The colon (
:
) is meaning and required. It separates the header of the compound argument from the body. -
The line subsequently the colon must be indented. Information technology is standard in Python to use iv spaces for indenting.
-
All lines indented the aforementioned amount after the colon volition be executed whenever the BOOLEAN_EXPRESSION is truthful.
Here is an example:
nutrient = 'spam' if food == 'spam' : print ( 'Ummmm, my favorite!' ) print ( 'I experience similar saying it 100 times...' ) impress ( 100 * ( food + '! ' ))
The boolean expression afterwards the if
argument is chosen the condition. If it is truthful, and then all the indented statements become executed. What happens if the status is false, and food
is not equal to 'spam'
? In a simple if
statement similar this, nothing happens, and the program continues on to the next argument.
Run this example code and see what happens. Then change the value of food
to something other than 'spam'
and run it over again, confirming that you lot don't get whatever output.
Flowchart of an if statement
Equally with the for
statement from the terminal chapter, the if
statement is a compound statement. Compound statements consist of a header line and a body. The header line of the if
argument begins with the keyword if
followed by a boolean expression and ends with a colon ( :
).
The indented statements that follow are called a cake. The outset unindented statement marks the end of the block. Each argument inside the block must have the same indentation.
Indentation and the PEP 8 Python Style Guide
The Python community has developed a Mode Guide for Python Lawmaking, usually referred to simply every bit "PEP 8". The Python Enhancement Proposals, or PEPs, are part of the process the Python community uses to discuss and prefer changes to the linguistic communication.
PEP eight recommends the utilise of 4 spaces per indentation level. We will follow this (and the other PEP 8 recommendations) in this book.
To help us learn to write well styled Python code, there is a program chosen pep8 that works as an automated mode guide checker for Python source lawmaking. pep8
is installable as a package on Debian based GNU/Linux systems similar Ubuntu.
In the Vim department of the appendix, Configuring Ubuntu for Python Web Development, there is pedagogy on configuring vim to run pep8
on your source code with the push of a push.
4.1.2. The if else
statement¶
Information technology is frequently the instance that you want one thing to happen when a condition it true, and something else to happen when it is false. For that we have the if else
statement.
if food == 'spam' : print ( 'Ummmm, my favorite!' ) else : print ( "No, I won't accept it. I want spam!" )
Here, the first print statement will execute if food
is equal to 'spam'
, and the print statement indented under the else
clause will get executed when information technology is non.
Flowchart of a if else statement
The syntax for an if else
statement looks like this:
if BOOLEAN EXPRESSION : STATEMENTS_1 # executed if condition evaluates to True else : STATEMENTS_2 # executed if condition evaluates to Faux
Each statement within the if
block of an if else
statement is executed in order if the boolean expression evaluates to Truthful
. The entire cake of statements is skipped if the boolean expression evaluates to False
, and instead all the statements under the else
clause are executed.
At that place is no limit on the number of statements that can appear under the ii clauses of an if else
statement, but in that location has to exist at least one argument in each cake. Occasionally, it is useful to have a section with no statements (commonly as a place keeper, or scaffolding, for code y'all haven't written even so). In that instance, you lot can use the pass
statement, which does nothing except act as a placeholder.
if True : # This is always true pass # so this is always executed, but information technology does null else : pass
Python terminology
Python documentation sometimes uses the term suite of statements to mean what we have chosen a block hither. They mean the same thing, and since well-nigh other languages and figurer scientists employ the word cake, we'll stick with that.
Notice besides that else
is not a statement. The if
statement has 2 clauses, one of which is the (optional) else
clause. The Python documentation calls both forms, together with the next form we are about to meet, the if
statement.
4.two. Chained conditionals¶
Sometimes there are more than two possibilities and nosotros need more than two branches. One way to express a computation like that is a chained provisional:
if x < y : STATEMENTS_A elif 10 > y : STATEMENTS_B else : STATEMENTS_C
Flowchart of this chained conditional
elif
is an abridgement of else if
. Again, exactly i branch will be executed. At that place is no limit of the number of elif
statements only just a single (and optional) last else
statement is allowed and it must be the last branch in the statement:
if option == 'a' : print ( "You chose 'a'." ) elif selection == 'b' : print ( "You chose 'b'." ) elif choice == 'c' : print ( "You lot chose 'c'." ) else : print ( "Invalid selection." )
Each condition is checked in order. If the first is false, the adjacent is checked, and so on. If one of them is true, the corresponding co-operative executes, and the statement ends. Even if more than 1 condition is true, only the first truthful branch executes.
iv.3. Nested conditionals¶
Ane conditional tin can likewise be nested within another. (It is the same theme of composibility, again!) We could have written the previous example as follows:
Flowchart of this nested provisional
if x < y : STATEMENTS_A else : if 10 > y : STATEMENTS_B else : STATEMENTS_C
The outer provisional contains two branches. The second branch contains another if
statement, which has two branches of its own. Those two branches could contain provisional statements also.
Although the indentation of the statements makes the structure apparent, nested conditionals very rapidly get hard to read. In general, it is a good thought to avoid them when y'all can.
Logical operators oftentimes provide a mode to simplify nested provisional statements. For example, nosotros tin can rewrite the following code using a single conditional:
if 0 < ten : # presume 10 is an int here if x < x : print ( "x is a positive single digit." )
The print
function is called only if nosotros make it past both the conditionals, and then we can apply the and
operator:
if 0 < x and x < ten : print ( "x is a positive single digit." )
Note
Python really allows a short hand form for this, then the post-obit will too piece of work:
if 0 < ten < 10 : print ( "x is a positive single digit." )
4.4. Iteration¶
Computers are oftentimes used to automate repetitive tasks. Repeating identical or like tasks without making errors is something that computers do well and people do poorly.
Repeated execution of a ready of statements is called iteration. Python has two statements for iteration – the for
statement, which we met last chapter, and the while
statement.
Before nosotros expect at those, we need to review a few ideas.
4.four.1. Reassignmnent¶
As we saw dorsum in the Variables are variable section, it is legal to brand more than than one consignment to the same variable. A new assignment makes an existing variable refer to a new value (and stop referring to the sometime value).
bruce = 5 print ( bruce ) bruce = 7 print ( bruce )
The output of this program is
because the beginning time bruce
is printed, its value is 5, and the 2d time, its value is seven.
Hither is what reassignment looks like in a country snapshot:
With reassignment it is specially of import to distinguish between an assignment statement and a boolean expression that tests for equality. Because Python uses the equal token ( =
) for assignment, it is tempting to interpret a statement like a = b
as a boolean test. Unlike mathematics, it is not! Remember that the Python token for the equality operator is ==
.
Note too that an equality test is symmetric, but assignment is non. For example, if a == 7
then 7 == a
. But in Python, the argument a = 7
is legal and 7 = a
is non.
Furthermore, in mathematics, a statement of equality is e'er truthful. If a == b
now, then a
will always equal b
. In Python, an assignment statement can brand two variables equal, only because of the possibility of reassignment, they don't have to stay that manner:
a = 5 b = a # later on executing this line, a and b are now equal a = 3 # subsequently executing this line, a and b are no longer equal
The third line changes the value of a
but does not modify the value of b
, so they are no longer equal.
Notation
In some programming languages, a different symbol is used for assignment, such as <-
or :=
, to avoid confusion. Python chose to use the tokens =
for assignment, and ==
for equality. This is a common choice, also found in languages like C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and PHP, though it does brand things a bit confusing for new programmers.
4.4.2. Updating variables¶
When an assignment statement is executed, the right-paw-side expression (i.east. the expression that comes later the assignment token) is evaluated outset. Then the result of that evaluation is written into the variable on the left mitt side, thereby changing it.
One of the most common forms of reassignment is an update, where the new value of the variable depends on its old value.
The second line means "go the current value of n, multiply it past three and add one, and put the answer back into n every bit its new value". So subsequently executing the 2 lines in a higher place, northward
will have the value xvi.
If you try to get the value of a variable that doesn't be yet, y'all'll get an error:
>>> w = ten + ane Traceback (most contempo call terminal): File "<interactive input>", line i, in NameError: proper noun 'x' is non defined
Earlier yous can update a variable, you have to initialize information technology, commonly with a simple consignment:
This 2nd argument — updating a variable by adding 1 to it — is very mutual. It is called an increment of the variable; subtracting 1 is called a decrement.
iv.5. The for
loop¶
The for
loop processes each detail in a sequence, so it is used with Python's sequence data types - strings, lists, and tuples.
Each item in turn is (re-)assigned to the loop variable, and the trunk of the loop is executed.
The general form of a for
loop is:
for LOOP_VARIABLE in SEQUENCE : STATEMENTS
This is some other example of a compound statement in Python, and similar the branching statements, it has a header terminated by a colon ( :
) and a torso consisting of a sequence of one or more statements indented the same amount from the header.
The loop variable is created when the for
argument runs, and then you practise not need to create the variable before then. Each iteration assigns the the loop variable to the adjacent element in the sequence, and and then executes the statements in the trunk. The statement finishes when the last element in the sequence is reached.
This type of menstruation is chosen a loop considering it loops dorsum around to the peak afterward each iteration.
for friend in [ 'Margot' , 'Kathryn' , 'Prisila' ]: invitation = "Hi " + friend + ". Please come up to my political party on Saturday!" impress ( invitation )
Running through all the items in a sequence is called traversing the sequence, or traversal.
Yous should run this instance to see what it does.
Tip
As with all the examples you run into in this book, you lot should try this lawmaking out yourself and see what it does. You should also try to conceptualize the results before you practise, and create your ain related examples and effort them out too.
If you get the results you expected, pat yourself on the dorsum and motility on. If you don't, try to figure out why. This is the essence of the scientific method, and is essential if you want to recall like a computer programmer.
Often times yous will desire a loop that iterates a given number of times, or that iterates over a given sequence of numbers. The range
function come up in handy for that.
>>> for i in range ( 5 ): ... print ( 'i is at present:' , i ) ... i is now 0 i is now ane i is now two i is at present three i is now 4 >>>
four.6. Tables¶
One of the things loops are practiced for is generating tables. Before computers were readily available, people had to calculate logarithms, sines and cosines, and other mathematical functions by manus. To make that easier, mathematics books contained long tables listing the values of these functions. Creating the tables was slow and boring, and they tended to be full of errors.
When computers appeared on the scene, one of the initial reactions was, "This is great! We can use the computers to generate the tables, so in that location volition be no errors." That turned out to be true (mostly) but shortsighted. Soon thereafter, computers and calculators were so pervasive that the tables became obsolete.
Well, almost. For some operations, computers apply tables of values to become an guess respond and then perform computations to ameliorate the approximation. In some cases, there have been errors in the underlying tables, well-nigh famously in the table the Intel Pentium processor chip used to perform floating-betoken partition.
Although a log table is not as useful as it once was, it yet makes a good instance. The following plan outputs a sequence of values in the left cavalcade and ii raised to the power of that value in the right column:
for ten in range ( 13 ): # Generate numbers 0 to 12 print ( x , ' \t ' , 2 ** x )
Using the tab graphic symbol ( '\t'
) makes the output align nicely.
0 1 i 2 2 4 iii 8 iv sixteen 5 32 6 64 7 128 eight 256 9 512 10 1024 xi 2048 12 4096
iv.vii. The while
statement¶
The full general syntax for the while statement looks like this:
while BOOLEAN_EXPRESSION : STATEMENTS
Like the branching statements and the for
loop, the while
statement is a compound argument consisting of a header and a body. A while
loop executes an unknown number of times, as long at the BOOLEAN EXPRESSION is true.
Here is a uncomplicated instance:
number = 0 prompt = "What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything? " while number != "42" : number = input ( prompt )
Discover that if number
is prepare to 42
on the first line, the body of the while
statement will not execute at all.
Hither is a more elaborate example program demonstrating the apply of the while
argument
name = 'Harrison' guess = input ( "And then I'm thinking of person's proper name. Try to guess it: " ) pos = 0 while guess != name and pos < len ( name ): print ( "Nope, that's not it! Hint: letter " , end = '' ) print ( pos + ane , "is" , name [ pos ] + ". " , stop = '' ) judge = input ( "Guess again: " ) pos = pos + 1 if pos == len ( name ) and name != gauge : print ( "Likewise bad, you couldn't get it. The proper noun was" , name + "." ) else : print ( " \northward Great, you got it in" , pos + 1 , "guesses!" )
The flow of execution for a while
statement works similar this:
-
Evaluate the status (
BOOLEAN EXPRESSION
), yieldingFalse
orTrue
. -
If the condition is false, exit the
while
argument and continue execution at the next statement. -
If the status is true, execute each of the
STATEMENTS
in the body and then go back to step one.
The torso consists of all of the statements below the header with the same indentation.
The body of the loop should change the value of one or more variables so that eventually the status becomes false and the loop terminates. Otherwise the loop will echo forever, which is called an infinite loop.
An endless source of amusement for computer programmers is the observation that the directions on shampoo, lather, rinse, echo, are an infinite loop.
In the case here, nosotros can show that the loop terminates because nosotros know that the value of len(name)
is finite, and we can see that the value of pos
increments each fourth dimension through the loop, then eventually it will take to equal len(name)
. In other cases, it is not so piece of cake to tell.
What you will find here is that the while
loop is more piece of work for y'all — the programmer — than the equivalent for
loop. When using a while
loop one has to control the loop variable yourself: give information technology an initial value, exam for completion, and then make sure you lot modify something in the body so that the loop terminates.
4.viii. Choosing between for
and while
¶
So why have 2 kinds of loop if for
looks easier? This next example shows a case where we need the extra power that we go from the while
loop.
Use a for
loop if you lot know, earlier you lot start looping, the maximum number of times that yous'll need to execute the body. For instance, if you lot're traversing a list of elements, you know that the maximum number of loop iterations you tin mayhap demand is "all the elements in the listing". Or if you need to print the 12 times table, nosotros know right away how many times the loop will need to run.
So any problem like "iterate this atmospheric condition model for 1000 cycles", or "search this listing of words", "discover all prime numbers upwardly to 10000" suggest that a for
loop is best.
By contrast, if you are required to repeat some computation until some condition is met, and y'all cannot calculate in advance when this will happen, as we did in the "greatest name" program, you'll demand a while
loop.
We call the first instance definite iteration — we accept some definite premises for what is needed. The latter case is called indefinite iteration — we're non sure how many iterations nosotros'll need — nosotros cannot fifty-fifty constitute an upper bound!
four.ix. Tracing a program¶
To write constructive computer programs a developer needs to develop the ability to trace the execution of a reckoner programme. Tracing involves "becoming the estimator" and following the flow of execution through a sample programme run, recording the country of all variables and any output the program generates subsequently each instruction is executed.
To understand this process, let'due south trace the execution of the program from The while statement department.
At the beginning of the trace, nosotros have a local variable, name
with an initial value of 'Harrison'
. The user will enter a string that is stored in the variable, guess
. Permit's presume they enter 'Maribel'
. The next line creates a variable named pos
and gives it an intial value of 0
.
To keep track of all this equally you hand trace a programme, brand a cavalcade heading on a slice of newspaper for each variable created as the program runs and another one for output. Our trace so far would look something like this:
name guess pos output ---- ----- --- ------ 'Harrison' 'Maribel' 0
Since guess != proper noun and pos < len(name)
evaluates to True
(take a minute to convince yourself of this), the loop body is executed.
The user will now see
Nope, that's not it! Hint: letter 1 is 'H'. Estimate again:
Assuming the user enters Karen
this time, pos
volition be incremented, guess != name and pos < len(name)
again evaluates to True
, and our trace will now await similar this:
name guess pos output ---- ----- --- ------ 'Harrison' 'Maribel' 0 Nope, that's non it! Hint: letter of the alphabet one is 'H'. Gauge again: 'Harrison' 'Henry' 1 Nope, that's not it! Hint: alphabetic character 2 is 'a'. Guess again:
A full trace of the program might produce something like this:
proper name estimate pos output ---- ----- --- ------ 'Harrison' 'Maribel' 0 Nope, that's not it! Hint: letter 1 is 'H'. Guess again: 'Harrison' 'Henry' ane Nope, that's not information technology! Hint: letter ii is 'a'. Guess again: 'Harrison' 'Hakeem' two Nope, that's not it! Hint: letter three is 'r'. Guess again: 'Harrison' 'Harold' iii Nope, that's not it! Hint: letter iv is 'r'. Guess once again: 'Harrison' 'Harry' 4 Nope, that's non it! Hint: alphabetic character 5 is 'i'. Judge again: 'Harrison' 'Harrison' 5 Corking, you got information technology in half dozen guesses!
Tracing tin can be a bit tedious and error decumbent (that's why nosotros get computers to do this stuff in the first identify!), but it is an essential skill for a programmer to have. From a trace we can larn a lot nearly the mode our lawmaking works.
4.10. Abbreviated assignment¶
Incrementing a variable is so common that Python provides an abbreviated syntax for it:
>>> count = 0 >>> count += 1 >>> count 1 >>> count += i >>> count 2
count += one
is an abreviation for count = count + i
. Nosotros pronouce the operator equally "plus-equals". The increment value does non have to exist i:
>>> n = 2 >>> northward += 5 >>> n 7
There are similar abbreviations for -=
, *=
, /=
, //=
and %=
:
>>> n = 2 >>> n *= 5 >>> n x >>> northward -= four >>> northward 6 >>> n //= two >>> due north 3 >>> n %= 2 >>> n 1
4.11. Some other while
example: Guessing game¶
The following programme implements a elementary guessing game:
import random # Import the random module number = random . randrange ( 1 , 1000 ) # Get random number between [one and 1000) guesses = 0 approximate = int ( input ( "Judge my number betwixt 1 and 1000: " )) while guess != number : guesses += 1 if guess > number : print ( guess , "is too high." ) elif gauge < number : print ( estimate , " is too low." ) guess = int ( input ( "Approximate again: " )) print ( " \n\n Great, you lot got it in" , guesses , "guesses!" )
This plan makes apply of the mathematical law of trichotomy (given real numbers a and b, exactly one of these 3 must be true: a > b, a < b, or a == b).
iv.12. The break
statement¶
The break argument is used to immediately go out the body of its loop. The next statement to be executed is the outset one later on the body:
for i in [ 12 , 16 , 17 , 24 , 29 ]: if i % 2 == 1 : # if the number is odd break # immediately exit the loop print ( i ) print ( "washed" )
This prints:
4.13. The continue
statement¶
This is a control flow argument that causes the program to immediately skip the processing of the remainder of the body of the loop, for the electric current iteration. But the loop however carries on running for its remaining iterations:
for i in [ 12 , 16 , 17 , 24 , 29 , thirty ]: if i % 2 == i : # if the number is odd continue # don't process it impress ( i ) impress ( "washed" )
This prints:
4.14. Another for
example¶
Hither is an example that combines several of the things nosotros have learned:
judgement = input ( 'Delight enter a sentence: ' ) no_spaces = '' for letter of the alphabet in sentence : if letter != ' ' : no_spaces += letter print ( "You judgement with spaces removed:" ) print ( no_spaces )
Trace this program and make sure yous feel confident you understand how it works.
4.15. Nested Loops for Nested Data¶
At present nosotros'll come up with an fifty-fifty more adventurous list of structured data. In this case, we have a list of students. Each student has a name which is paired upwards with another listing of subjects that they are enrolled for:
students = [( "Alejandro" , [ "CompSci" , "Physics" ]), ( "Justin" , [ "Math" , "CompSci" , "Stats" ]), ( "Ed" , [ "CompSci" , "Accounting" , "Economic science" ]), ( "Margot" , [ "InfSys" , "Bookkeeping" , "Economics" , "CommLaw" ]), ( "Peter" , [ "Sociology" , "Economics" , "Law" , "Stats" , "Music" ])]
Here nosotros've assigned a list of five elements to the variable students
. Let's print out each student name, and the number of subjects they are enrolled for:
# print all students with a count of their courses. for ( name , subjects ) in students : impress ( proper noun , "takes" , len ( subjects ), "courses" )
Python agreeably responds with the following output:
Aljandro takes ii courses Justin takes three courses Ed takes four courses Margot takes 4 courses Peter takes five courses
Now we'd like to ask how many students are taking CompSci. This needs a counter, and for each student we need a second loop that tests each of the subjects in turn:
# Count how many students are taking CompSci counter = 0 for ( proper noun , subjects ) in students : for s in subjects : # a nested loop! if s == "CompSci" : counter += 1 print ( "The number of students taking CompSci is" , counter )
The number of students taking CompSci is 3
You should gear up a list of your own data that interests you — maybe a list of your CDs, each containing a listing of song titles on the CD, or a list of moving picture titles, each with a listing of movie stars who acted in the movie. You could then inquire questions like "Which movies starred Angelina Jolie?"
4.xvi. List comprehensions¶
A list comprehension is a syntactic construct that enables lists to exist created from other lists using a compact, mathematical syntax:
>>> numbers = [ 1 , ii , three , 4 ] >>> [ x ** 2 for x in numbers ] [1, 4, 9, 16] >>> [ 10 ** two for ten in numbers if ten ** two > eight ] [nine, 16] >>> [( x , x ** 2 , 10 ** 3 ) for x in numbers ] [(1, ane, ane), (2, 4, eight), (3, ix, 27), (4, 16, 64)] >>> files = [ 'bin' , 'Information' , 'Desktop' , '.bashrc' , '.ssh' , '.vimrc' ] >>> [ name for proper noun in files if name [ 0 ] != '.' ] ['bin', 'Data', 'Desktop'] >>> letters = [ 'a' , 'b' , 'c' ] >>> [ n * letter for due north in numbers for alphabetic character in messages ] ['a', 'b', 'c', 'aa', 'bb', 'cc', 'aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc'] >>>
The full general syntax for a list comprehension expression is:
[ expr for item1 in seq1 for item2 in seq2 ... for itemx in seqx if condition ]
This list expression has the same result as:
output_sequence = [] for item1 in seq1 : for item2 in seq2 : ... for itemx in seqx : if condition : output_sequence . append ( expr )
As you can meet, the list comprehension is much more compact.
iv.17. Glossary¶

To add together new data to the end of a file or other data object.
- block
-
A group of consecutive statements with the aforementioned indentation.
- torso

The block of statements in a compound argument that follows the header.
- co-operative
-
One of the possible paths of the menstruum of execution determined by conditional execution.
- chained conditional
-
A provisional co-operative with more two possible flows of execution. In Python chained conditionals are written with
if ... elif ... else
statements. - compound statement
-
A Python statement that has two parts: a header and a torso. The header begins with a keyword and ends with a colon (
:
). The trunk contains a serial of other Python statements, all indented the same amount.Note
We will use the Python standard of iv spaces for each level of indentation.
- condition
-
The boolean expression in a conditional statement that determines which branch is executed.
- conditional statement
-
A statement that controls the menses of execution depending on some status. In Python the keywords
if
,elif
, andelse
are used for conditional statements. - counter
-
A variable used to count something, usually initialized to zero and incremented in the trunk of a loop.
- cursor
-
An invisible marker that keeps rail of where the adjacent character will exist printed.
- decrement
-
Decrease by ane.
- definite iteration
-
A loop where nosotros have an upper bound on the number of times the body will be executed. Definite iteration is commonly best coded as a
for
loop. - delimiter
-
A sequence of one or more characters used to specify the boundary between separate parts of text.
- increase

-
To initialize a variable is to give information technology an initial value. Since in Python variables don't exist until they are assigned values, they are initialized when they are created. In other programming languages this is not the case, and variables can be created without being initialized, in which case they have either default or garbage values.
