  1. Nested Loops CS303E: Elements of Computers and Programming

  2. Nested Loops • Nested loops occur when a loop has one or more other loops in its body • Outside loop variable is constant while the inside loop executes to completion • The outside loop variable is incremented and inside loop begins again

  3. Example for i in range(5): for j in range(3): print “i=“+str(i)+ ” j=“+str(j) Output: i=0 j=0 i=0 j=1 i=0 j=2 i=1 j=0 i=1 j=1 i=1 j=2 i=2 j=0 i=2 j=1 i=2 j=2 i=3 j=0 i=3 j=1 i=3 j=2 i=4 j=0 i=4 j=1 i=4 j=2

  4. Example • Write a program that reads 10 strings from the user and prints the number of times the letter “a” appears in each string.

  5. Question: What is the value of sum after the following code is evaluated? sum=0 for i in range(3): for j in range(6): sum=sum+1 A. 3 C. 18 B. 9 D. 729

  6. Exercise Write a program that prints the following triangle, in which the first row contains 1 *, row 2 contains 2 *’s, … and row 10 contains 10 *’s * ** *** **** ***** ****** ******* ******** ********* **********

  7. Print: Eliminating Extra Space • print always adds a blank space at the end: • A space after a comma OR • A newline when there is no comma • To avoid this, use sys.stdout.write() • sys indicates the sys library • stdout indicates standard output or where the output usually goes---in this case, the interpreter

  8. sys.stdout.write():Example import sys sys.stdout.write(“hello”) sys.stdout.write(“world”) Output: helloworld

  9. Question for you: What does stdout represent? A. standard error B. standard output C. standard deviation

  10. Exercise Write a program that reads in a string from the user and then: • Capitalizes all the words • Uses a loop to print every other character in the string starting with the first character without spaces between the letters

  11. Reminders • No discussion section meetings this week. • Happy spring break! • Work on project – due the week after spring break.
