Is Python a

Finally, notice that Python doesn’t have what some languages call a “do until” loopstatement. However, we can simulate one with a test and break at the bottom of theloop body:while True:...loop body...if exitTest( ): breakTo fully understand how this structure works, we need to move on to the next section,and learn more about the break statement.break, continue, pass, and the Loop elseNow that we’ve seen a few Python loops in action, it’s time to take a look at two simplestatements that have a purpose only when nested inside loops—the break andcontinue statements. While we’re looking at oddballs, we will also study the loopelse clause here because it is intertwined with break, and Python’s empty placeholderstatement, the pass. In Python:breakJumps out of the closest enclosing loop (past the entire loop statement).continueJumps to the top of the closest enclosing loop (to the loop’s header line).passDoes nothing at all: it’s an empty statement placeholder.Loop else blockRuns if and only if the loop is exited normally (i.e., without hitting a break).General Loop FormatFactoring in break and continue statements, the general format of the while looplooks like this:while :if : breakif : continueelse:# Exit loop now, skip else# Go to top of loop now, to test1# Run if we didn't hit a 'break'break and continue statements can appear anywhere inside the while (or for) loop’sbody, but they are usually coded further nested in an if test to take action inresponse to some condition.250 | Chapter 13: while and for Loops
