CONTINUE COMMAND AND EXIT LINE

 

The Continue Command 


The continue command stops executing code in the loop and starts at the top of the loop again. Essentially, we want to kick the user back to the original question.

EXAMPLE :



while True:
  print("You are in a corridor, do you go left or right?")
  direction = input("> ")
  if direction == "left":
    print("You have fallen to your death")
    break
  elif direction == "right":
    continue
  else:
    print("Ahh! You're a genius, you've won")

NOTE : 

The else statement refers to any input besides left or right (up or esc). Since the user is a winner, we do not want to use break or it would say they have failed. 

EXIT  COMMAND LINE 

The previous code continues to loop even after the user has won. Let's fix that with the exit() command

EXAMPLE:
print("Let's play chutes and ladders. Pick ladder or chute.")
while True:
  print("Do you want to go up the ladder or down the chute?")
  direction = input("> ")
  if direction == "chute"
    print("Game over!")
  break
  elif direction == "ladder":
    continue
else:
    print("Game over!")
    exit 
print("Thanks for playing!")

FOR LOOP , RANGE

  FOR LOOP  A  while  loop is perfect to use when we  don't  know how many times we want the loop to repeat.  If we have an idea of how many times we want the loop to repeat, we can use a  for  loop to loop code in exactly the same way the  while  loop did.  EXAMPLE :  for counter in range(10):   print(counter) RANGE  The  range  function creates a list of numbers in the range you create. If you only give it one number, it will start at  0  and move to a state where the final number is  one less  than the number in the brackets. In this case, the final number would be  9 .  EXAMPLE :  total = 0 for number in range(100) :   total += number   print(total)

OS LIBRARY , TIME LIBRARY

  What is the os library? It allows us to "talk" to the console. One of the most powerful things we can do with this library is allow it to clear the console EXAMPLE: import os print("Welcome") print("to") print("Replit") os.system("clear") username = input("Username: ")  Time Library We can import a second library by placing a  ,  after the name of the first library. EXAMPLE: import os, time print("Welcome") print("to") print("Replit") time.sleep(10) os.system("clear") username = input("Username: ")  NOTE:  from replit import audio import os, time def play():   source = audio.play_file('audio.wav')   source.paused = False # unpause the playback   while True:     stop_playback = int(input("Press 2 anytime to stop playback and go back to the menu : ")) # giving the user the option to stop playback     if stop_playback == 2:       source.paused = True # let'...

ALL ABOUT WHILE LOOP

 WHILE LOOP  A  while  loop allows your code to repeat itself based on a condition you set.   EXAMPLE : counter = 0 while counter < 10:   print(counter)   counter +=1 Infinite Loop  You have to be  really  careful that you don't accidentally invoke an infinite loop! This is where the computer will loop code until the end of time. Without a break. Forever.  This is just saying "count to 10 by 1 each time." to make the loop end. Don't forget, if your  condition  is a  >  then you might need to  -= . This will subtract from the variable instead of adding to it.   EXAMPLE : counter = 0 while counter < 10:   print(counter)    counter += 1
