-While Loop in Python-


While loop: 

Allows code to be executed repeatedly, depending on whether a condition is satisfied or not. 

Have you ever watched the movie, ‘Harry Potter’? We are going to have a sneak peek into the magical wizarding world.

 Quidditch is a dangerous but popular sport played by riding on flying broomsticks. In the Quidditch match, the game continues till the time someone catches the Golden Snitch. 


In this game, we can never say beforehand how much time the game continues. It will come to an end depending on only one condition i.e. catching the golden snitch. These kinds of events can be implemented using a while loop that stops only based on some conditions.

Note: 

The loop runs till the time condition is true. When the condition becomes false, we exit the loop. Let’s check out the syntax of the while loop. 

And this is how a finite while loop can be written. It is executed till the time condition becomes false.

Note: 
 ● A counter variable is initialized before the loop
 ● Condition is based on this counter
 ● The counter variable is incremented inside the loop. 

Statements that can alter normal program flow. 
"break" 
This can be used to break from the loop, even if the condition is true. 

Now let's write a program to brew a magic potion. Remember we are dealing with magic ingredients, so all the steps have to be followed accurately. Arrange all the 5 ingredients required for the potion. 



Now take out the exact measurement of the ingredient such that, while brewing it will be all ready to put in. Ingredient 5 - 5 pieces Ingredient 4 - 4 pieces Ingredient 3 - 3 pieces Ingredient 2 - 2 pieces Ingredient 1 - 1 piece














Add the ingredients to the magic pot and start brewing. Ingredients to be added in the order – 
Ingredient 1 - 1 piece 
Ingredient 2 - 2 pieces
Ingredient 3 - 3 pieces 
Ingredient 4 - 4 pieces
Ingredient 5 - 5 pieces



















Keep stirring till the time bubbles are formed.
User input : 0 if no bubble is formed 1 if a bubble is formed 


















Keep the potion to rest. You can start serving it only when the user enters the secret code. The secret code is 444. You can give a clue to the user for the secret code. 









Output:










Serve the magic potion prepared in equal quantities. Get as input quantity and number of people to be served.

- Object Oriented Programming -

In OOP, we can represent an entity using a class.  A class bundles data (features/properties of entity - color, height, width) and functionality (movement, expression) together.  An instance of a class is known as an object.  Which is the only cartoon series that had predicted that Trump would be elected as the president of the USA and also predicted the coronavirus spread?   Answer: Simpsons.  Simpsons is a very popular animated show. You can build something similar with python.  But have you ever wondered, how Simpsons look the same in all the series? Only his movement looking and, expression change but his main features like color, height, and face look exactly the same all the time.  This is because we create a ‘blueprint’ of Simpsons and whenever we have to simulate him on screen we use this blueprint. This keeps a record of all the features of Simpsons and recreates it whenever we want.  This is where Object-Oriented Programming(OOP) h...

- Animating characters using pygame -

If you see closely you can see that the mickey mouse animation is made out of a lot of shapes.  But to create something like this we need to make a very complex code. The other way around it is to use an image, other than the basic shapes, pygame also can show images.  Using images :  Steps to use images in my game: > find the image you want to use  > move it to the directory where you have created your code  > import/load image  To load the image we will first create an object and then use the image. load method to add the image to the object.  here, we have created an object called an image.  We then use the "pygame.image.load" to find the file in the directory ocean.png has to be replaced with the filename of your file.  To place the object on a particular point of the screen we use the blit function.  this function means that we are going to add the image onto the screen at position 0,0 mickey mouse is winking  Usi...

- Quiz game in Python -

 Game Overview  ● Questions are stored in a file. We will have to read it from the file and store it in a dictionary.  ● 2 points for the correct answer and -1 point for the wrong answer  ● Max no. of questions asked:5  ● Questions will be shuffled once and then asked sequentially.  File Template (for the program)  Each question in the file is stored as <Question> : <Answer> Here ‘:’ acts as a separator between question and answer.  Each line read from the file will be of string data type. ‘:’ helps in separating the answer from the question.  Note: Make sure you add a ‘:’ between question and answer if adding a question manually.  Algorithm  Now that you have seen how the quiz game works, Let's have look at the algorithm for the same.  1. Read the entire file  2. From each line read, get the question and answer a. Add to dictionary  3. Print the rules of the game 4. Shuffle the questions  5. Get eac...
