|
||||
* This follows the concept of **DRY - Don't Repeat Yourself**
|
||||
* Functions can also take arguments. These allow our functions to be more dynamic
|
||||
|
||||
```python3
|
||||
def add(name):
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def my_name(name):
|
||||
return "My name is " + name
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* When there is no `return` statement, the function *implicitly* returns `None`
|
||||
|
||||
### `for` loops
|
||||
|
||||
`for` loops *iterate* over a *sequence*. There are 2 parts to a `for` loop, the *statement* and the *body*. The *statement* tells the loop what to *iterate* over and *assigns* the loop variable. The body tells python what to do in each iteration. Before each iteration the loop variable is assigned to the next value in the *sequence*, in oder from the zero index to the last item.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
teachers = ['billy', 'tom', 'jason', 'jeff']
|
||||
for teacher in teachers:
|
||||
print( teacher.capitalize() )
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In this loop we *iterate* over each teacher in the loop and print there name capitalized.
|
||||
|
||||
### `while` loops
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike `for` loops, `while` are not bound to a sequence and can continue for ever.
|
||||
like a `for` loop, `while` loops have 2 parts, an *statement* and a body.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
num = input('Please enter a whole number: ')
|
||||
while not num.isdigit():
|
||||
print('Not a whole number!')
|
||||
num = input('Please enter a whole number: ')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### loop control
|
||||
There are 2 ways can control what loops. They both with `for` and `while` loops in the same way.
|
||||
|
||||
* [`break`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#break)
|
||||
The `break` *statement* stops loop and allows python to move on to the rest of the script. If you are using a `while` loop, you should have a break *statement* to stop the loop.
|
||||
```python
|
||||
count = 1
|
||||
while True:
|
||||
count *= count
|
||||
if count > 100: break
|
||||
```
|
||||
* [`continue`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#continue)
|
||||
The `continue` *statement* skips to the next iteration of the loop. Generally, `continue` statement are at the top of the loop body.
|
||||
```python
|
||||
for num in range(100):
|
||||
if num%10 != 0: continue
|
||||
print(num)
|
||||
```
