Python Course 5: For Loops and Lists

For Loop Examples

Print the numbers 1 to 9

for k in range(1,10):
    print(k)

Countdown from 10 to 1

for k in range(10,0,-1):
    print(k)

Print the days of the week

days = ["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"]
for day in days:
    print(day)

Print the five times table

for k in range(1,11):
    print("5 x {} = {}".format(k, 5*k))

For Loop Exercises

Write for loops to output the following sequences of numbers

1. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
2. 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16
3. 1,2,3,4,5, … 97,98,99,100
4. 7,14,21, … 63,70,77
5. 20,18,16, … 4,2,0,-2
6. 2,5,8,11,14,17,20,23,26,29
7. 99,88,77,66,55,44,33,22,11,0
8. Numbers 1 to 1000.
9. Even numbers from 0 to 100.
10. Odd numbers from -50 to 50
11. All multiples of 3 up to 500.

Look at the days of the week example above. Use lists and for loops to do the following

1. Print out the seasons of the year (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter)
2. Create a list of the names of the four people closest to you. Use a for loop to print that list.

Extension

Look at the examples above.

1. Use a for loop to print the 5 times table up to 12 x 5
2. Use a for loop to print the 7 times table up to 12 x 7 in the form “3 x 7 = 21”
3. Use a for loop to print the following sequence: 0.5, 0.4, 0.3, 0.2, 0.1, 0
4. Use a for loop to print the following sequence: 0.03, 0.02, 0.01, 0, -0.01, -0.02, -0,03
5. Use a for loop to print five random numbers between 1 and 10
6. Use a for loop to print the first ten square numbers: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100
7. Use a for loop to print the first ten triangle numbers: 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36,45, 55
