Reinforce your understanding of Python loop control with review questions. Practice concepts like break and continue through thoughtful Q&A.
- break: Immediately exits the entire loop - continue: Skips the rest of current iteration and jumps to next condition check - pass: Does nothing (placeholder for empty blocks) The else clause executes only if the loop completes normally (no break).
["break: `while True: if condition: break`", "continue: `while x > 0: x -= 1; if x%2: continue; print(x)`", "pass: `while condition: pass # TODO: implement later`"]
The output will be: 5 4 3 Loop ended! The loop terminates early because of the `break` statement when x becomes 2.
[{"code"=>"def mystery_loop():\n x = 5\n while x > 0:\n print(x)\n x -= 1\n if x == 2:\n break\n print(\"Loop ended!\")\n"}, {"output"=>"5\n4\n3\nLoop ended!\n"}]
break: Immediately exits the entire loop continue: Skips the current iteration and moves to the next else: Executes after the loop completes normally (only if no break occurred) These statements help customize loop behavior and handle special cases.
["break: `for num in nums: if num == 0: break`", "continue: `for num in nums: if num%2==0: continue`", "else: `for n in range(2,10): ... else: print('All primes checked')`"]
