Questions to [David Rotermund](mailto:davrot@uni-bremen.de)
|
||||
|
||||
**Logic blocks need to be indented. Preferable with 4 spaces!**
|
||||
|
||||
## [The while statement](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#the-while-statement)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
i = 0
|
||||
while i < 3:
|
||||
print(i)
|
||||
i += 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Output
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
0
|
||||
1
|
||||
2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## The full statement
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
while_stmt ::= "while" assignment_expression ":" suite
|
||||
["else" ":" suite]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## [pass](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-pass-statement)
|
||||
|
||||
Since Python uses indents as definition for a functional block it needs pass for signaling an empty functional block.
|
||||
|
||||
> pass is a null operation — when it is executed, nothing happens. It is useful as a placeholder when a statement is required syntactically, but no code needs to be executed
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
pass_stmt ::= "pass"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## [break](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-break-statement)
|
||||
|
||||
> break may only occur syntactically nested in a for or while loop, but not nested in a function or class definition within that loop.
|
||||
|
||||
> It terminates the nearest enclosing loop, skipping the optional else clause if the loop has one.
|
||||
|
||||
> If a for loop is terminated by break, the loop control target keeps its current value.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
break_stmt ::= "break"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
for i in range(0, 5):
|
||||
if i == 2:
|
||||
break
|
||||
print(i)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Output:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
0
|
||||
1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## [continue](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-continue-statement)
|
||||
|
||||
> continue may only occur syntactically nested in a for or while loop, but not nested in a function or class definition within that loop. It continues with the next cycle of the nearest enclosing loop.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
continue_stmt ::= "continue"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
for i in range(0, 5):
|
||||
if i == 2:
|
||||
continue
|
||||
print(i)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Output:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
0
|
||||
1
|
||||
3
|
||||
4
|
||||
```
