While loops, flags, and recursion

1. while loops

  • while loops are used to execute a block of code as long as a condition is true.

  • syntax:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
# while condition:
#     # code to be executed

# example:

i = 0

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

print("Done!")

# Output:
# 0
# 1
# 2
# 3
# 4


# ...

# 9
# Done!

2. flags

  • flags are used to control the flow of a program.

  • example:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13

should_continue = True

while should_continue:
    print("Hello World!")
    if input("Do you want to continue? ") == "no":
        should_continue = False

# Output:
# Hello World!
# Do you want to continue? yes
# Hello World!
# Do you want to continue? yes
# Hello World!
# Do you want to continue? no

# recursion

3. recursion

  • recursion is when a function calls itself.
  • example:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
def add(n):
    if n == 1:
        return 1
    else:
        return n + add(n - 1)

print(add(5))

# Output:
# 15
