<H1><A name=SECTION001100000000000000000>For Loops</A> </H1>And here is the new
typing exercise for this chapter: <PRE>onetoten = range(1,11)
for count in onetoten:
print count
</PRE>and the ever-present output: <PRE>1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
</PRE>The output looks awfully familiar but the program code looks different.
The first line uses the <TT>range</TT> function. The <TT>range</TT> function
uses two arguments like this <TT>range(start,finish)</TT>. <TT>start</TT> is the
first number that is produced. <TT>finish</TT> is one larger than the last
number. Note that this program could have been done in a shorter way: <PRE>for count in range(1,11):
print count
</PRE>Here are some examples to show what happens with the <TT>range</TT>
command: <PRE>>>> range(1,10)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
>>> range(-32, -20)
[-32, -31, -30, -29, -28, -27, -26, -25, -24, -23, -22, -21]
>>> range(5,21)
[5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20]
>>> range(21,5)
[]
</PRE>The next line <CODE>for count in onetoten:</CODE> uses the <TT>for</TT>
control structure. A <TT>for</TT> control structure looks like <TT>for variable
in list:</TT>. <TT>list</TT> is gone through starting with the first element of
the list and going to the last. As <TT>for</TT> goes through each element in a
list it puts each into <TT>variable</TT>. That allows <TT>variable</TT> to be
used in each successive time the for loop is run through. Here is another
example (you don't have to type this) to demonstrate: <PRE>demolist = ['life',42, 'the universe', 6,'and',7,'everything']
for item in demolist:
print "The Current item is:",
print item
</PRE>The output is: <PRE>The Current item is: life
The Current item is: 42
The Current item is: the universe
The Current item is: 6
The Current item is: and
The Current item is: 7
The Current item is: everything
</PRE>Notice how the for loop goes through and sets item to each element in the
list. (Notice how if you don't want <TT>print</TT> to go to the next line add a
comma at the end of the statement (i.e. if you want to print something else on
that line). ) So, what is <TT>for</TT> good for? (groan) The first use is to go
through all the elements of a list and do something with each of them. Here a
quick way to add up all the elements: <PRE>list = [2,4,6,8]
sum = 0
for num in list:
sum = sum + num
print "The sum is: ",sum
</PRE>with the output simply being: <PRE>The sum is: 20
</PRE>Or you could write a program to find out if there are any duplicates in a
list like this program does: <PRE>list = [4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 1,0,7,10]
list.sort()
prev = list[0]
del list[0]
for item in list:
if prev == item:
print "Duplicate of ",prev," Found"
prev = item
</PRE>and for good measure: <PRE>Duplicate of 7 Found
</PRE>Okay, so how does it work? Here is a special debugging version to help you
understand (you don't need to type this in): <PRE>l = [4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 1,0,7,10]
print "l = [4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 1,0,7,10]","\tl:",l
l.sort()
print "l.sort()","\tl:",l
prev = l[0]
print "prev = l[0]","\tprev:",prev
del l[0]
print "del l[0]","\tl:",l
for item in l:
if prev == item:
print "Duplicate of ",prev," Found"
print "if prev == item:","\tprev:",prev,"\titem:",item
prev = item
print "prev = item","\t\tprev:",prev,"\titem:",item
</PRE>with the output being: <PRE>l = [4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 1,0,7,10] l: [4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 1, 0, 7, 10]
l.sort() l: [0, 1, 4, 5, 7, 7, 8, 9, 10]
prev = l[0] prev: 0
del l[0] l: [1, 4, 5, 7, 7, 8, 9, 10]
if prev == item: prev: 0 item: 1
prev = item prev: 1 item: 1
if prev == item: prev: 1 item: 4
prev = item prev: 4 item: 4
if prev == item: prev: 4 item: 5
prev = item prev: 5 item: 5
if prev == item: prev: 5 item: 7
prev = item prev: 7 item: 7
Duplicate of 7 Found
if prev == item: prev: 7 item: 7
prev = item prev: 7 item: 7
if prev == item: prev: 7 item: 8
prev = item prev: 8 item: 8
if prev == item: prev: 8 item: 9
prev = item prev: 9 item: 9
if prev == item: prev: 9 item: 10
prev = item prev: 10 item: 10
</PRE>The reason I put so many <TT>print</TT> statements in the code was so that
you can see what is happening in each line. (BTW, if you can't figure out why a
program is not working, try putting in lots of print statements to you can see
what is happening) First the program starts with a boring old list. Next the
program sorts the list. This is so that any duplicates get put next to each
other. The program then initializes a prev(ious) variable. Next the first
element of the list is deleted so that the first item is not incorrectly thought
to be a duplicate. Next a for loop is gone into. Each item of the list is
checked to see if it is the same as the previous. If it is a duplicate was
found. The value of prev is then changed so that the next time the for loop is
run through prev is the previous item to the current. Sure enough, the 7 is
found to be a duplicate. (Notice how <CODE>\t</CODE> is used to print a tab.)
<P>The other way to use for loops is to do something a certain number of times.
Here is some code to print out the first 11 numbers of the Fibonacci series: <PRE>a = 1
b = 1
for c in range(1,10):
print a,
n = a + b
a = b
b = n
</PRE>with the surprising output: <PRE>1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34
</PRE>Everything that can be done with <TT>for</TT> loops can also be done with
<TT>while</TT> loops but <TT>for</TT> loops give a easy way to go through all
the elements in a list or to do something a certain number of times.
