3.1.2.8 Loop control in Python | break and continue
The break and continue statements: more examples
Let's return to our program that recognizes the largest among the entered numbers. We'll convert it twice, using the
break and continueinstructions.
Analyze the code, and judge whether and how you would use either of them.
The
break variant goes here:largestNumber = -99999999
counter = 0
while True:
number = int(input("Enter a number or type -1 to end program: "))
if number == -1:
break
counter += 1
if number > largestNumber:
largestNumber = number
if counter != 0:
print("The largest number is", largestNumber)
else:
print("You haven't entered any number.")
Run it, test it, and experiment with it.
And now the
continue variant:largestNumber = -99999999
counter = 0
number = int(input("Enter a number or type -1 to end program: "))
while number != -1:
if number == -1:
continue
counter += 1
if number > largestNumber:
largestNumber = number
number = int(input("Enter a number or type -1 to end program: "))
if counter:
print("The largest number is", largestNumber)
else:
print("You haven't entered any number.")
Again - run it, test it, and experiment with it.
