课程 3. FOR cycle

难度:

任务«唯一字母»

💻 Python

编写一个程序,读取文本行,直到遇到特殊的“停止词”。第一行输入的是停止词。然后程序应读取后续的行。你的任务是计算所有在停止词之前输入的行的总字符数。停止词本身不参与计算。为了解决这个问题,需要使用 for 循环和 break 语句。

输入格式

第一行:停止词(一行,无空格)。
后续行:任意文本,每次一行。最后输入的行——即停止词。

输出格式

一个数字——所有输入行在停用词之前的总长度。

示例

输入

Basics of the forcycle

The for loop in Python is your main tool for iterating through elements in any sequence. Imagine that you have a box with different items. The for loop allows you to take one item at a time, do something with it, and move on to the next until the items in the box run out.

It is used to iterate over sequences such as lists, strings, tuples, sets, or even keys in a dictionary. The same block of code is executed for each element of the sequence.

Syntax:

for element in sequence:
    # a block of code that will be executed for each element
    # IMPORTANT: this block must be indented!

Here, the element is a temporary variable that is assigned a different value from the sequence at each iteration. You can name this variable any way you want, but it's better to choose a meaningful name (for example, fruit for a list of fruits or letter for a string).

Iterating through the list

A list is an ordered collection of items. The for loop will run through it from the first element to the last.

fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
for fruit in fruit:
    print(fruit)

Conclusion:

apple
banana
cherry

Iterating over the line

A string is, in fact, a sequence of characters. Therefore, the for loop can iterate over it just as easily.

word = "Python"
for a letter in a word:
    print(letter)

Conclusion:

P
y
t
h
o
n

Cycle control: break and continue

Sometimes you don't have to go through the whole cycle to the end. There are special operators for this.

The break operator

The break operator is used to immediately and completely terminate the loop. As soon as the program encounters a break, it immediately exits the loop and continues execution from the next line of code after it.

A useful tip: break is indispensable when you are looking for something. Once you've found what you're looking for, there's no point in continuing the search.

Example: We have a list of numbers, and we want to find the first even number and stop the loop as soon as it is found.

numbers = [1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10]
for num in numbers:
    if num % 2 == 0: # Check for parity
        print(f"The first even number is found: {num}")
break # Immediately exit the loop
print("The loop is completed.")

Conclusion:

The first even number was found: 6
The cycle is completed.

Please note that the numbers 7, 9, and 10 were not checked, as the cycle was interrupted by the number 6.

The continue operator

The continue operator is used to skip the current iteration and immediately move on to the next one. All the code that is in the loop after continue will not be executed for the current element.

A useful tip: continue is very convenient for "filtering" data inside a loop. If the current item doesn't suit you by some criterion, you just skip it and move on to the next one.

Example: We have a list of numbers, and we want to output all the numbers except the even ones.

numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
for num in numbers:
    if num % 2 == 0: # Check for parity
        continue # If the number is even, skip print() and go to the next number.
    print(num)

Conclusion:

1
3
5
7
9

When num was equal to 2, 4, 6, etc., the if condition was met, continue skipped the print(num) command, and the loop immediately started a new iteration.

The difference between break and continue is in a nutshell

  • break: "Stop, car!". Stops the cycle completely.
  • continue: "This one doesn't fit, let's do the next one!". Skips only the current step.

The else block in the for

loop

The for loop may have an optional else block. This block is executed only if the loop has completed all its iterations naturally, that is, it has not been interrupted by the break operator.

A useful tip: It is a very powerful tool for search tasks. The else block makes it easy to handle a situation where the search has ended but nothing has been found.

Example 1: The loop ended normally

for number in range(3):
print(number)
else:
    print("The cycle is completed without interruptions.")

Conclusion:

0
1
2
The cycle is completed without interruptions.

Example 2: The loop is interrupted by the break

operator
for number in range(3):
if number == 1:
        print("We found 1, we break the loop.")
break
    print(number)
else:
    # This block will not be executed because there was a break
    print("The cycle is completed without interruptions.")

Conclusion:

0
We found 1, we interrupt the cycle.

Practical examples

The sum of all the numbers in the list

This is a classic task for understanding how to work with a cycle and accumulate results.

numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
amount = 0 # Initialize the variable to store the amount BEFORE the loop
for a number in numbers:
    sum += number # At each iteration, we add the current number to the total
print(f' Sum: {sum}') # Output the final result AFTER the loop

Conclusion: Amount: 15

A useful tip: Although this method perfectly demonstrates how the loop works, in real code it is better to use the built-in sum() function to find the sum of the list elements: print(sum(numbers)). It's shorter and more efficient.

Finding the maximum number in the list

Here we assume that the first element is the maximum, and then in the loop we compare it with all the others.

numbers = [1, 7, 3, 9, 5]
maximum = numbers[0] # We take the first element as the temporary maximum
for a number in numbers:
    if the number is > maximum: # If we find a number greater than our maximum...
maximum = number # ...then we update the maximum
print(f' Maximum: {maximum}')

Conclusion: Maximum: 9

A useful tip: As with the sum, Python has a built-in function max() for this task: print(max(numbers)). Knowing these functions saves time, but understanding how they work using the for loop is a key skill for a programmer.
