- Remember, indenting your code indicates it is inside a loop
- Always set your variable properly so the loop runs at least once
- Don’t forget the colon to start the conditional statement
#Set x to 0
x = 0
#Loop while x is less than 5
while x < 5:
print("looping")
#Add 1 to x each time the loop runs
x = x + 1
Tasks
- Type in the code and make sure that it works
- Change the code so it loops 20 times and prints out x each time
- Modify the program so it prints out the squares of the numbers 1-10 (hint: multiply the counter by itself)
- Save and label your code
Extension Task
Create a loop that will ask for a password and continue to do so until ‘apple’ is entered. A hint is shown below, but what other code do you need to make it work (use the example above to help)?
while password != "apple":
