-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...

– Sequences, Algorithms and Programs in Python ---

 Before moving forward, Let's learn how to install Python software in your System which is very important for the further understanding of these topics. Imagine, you are a regular customer of Uncle Sam’s Pizza restaurant, can you help Uncle Sam prepare the menu and take a printout of it? Which application will you use for that? You will type the menu using MS word and then take a printout of it. right?  So, you know that we can use MS Word to create documents. Similarly, if you want to write a python program, you need an IDE (Integrated development environment). This IDE helps you to write a python program and then run it so that you can see the result/output of the program.  Steps to install python/IDE in your local system. (Windows /MAC )   Note : Prerequisite for installing python in Windows- Windows 8 or above. go to this website .   1. Click on download python as per your OS. Mac users may download the Mac version. Windows users download depending on 32-bit...

-List Slicing in Python-

 List Slicing : Slicing helps in creating a new list from an existing list.  Syntax list_name [start :end:step] Suppose you have a list of Avengers, arranged in the order of your preference.   avengers=[“Iron Man”,”Thor”,”Hulk”,”Spider Man”,”Captain America”,”Black Panther”,”Hawk Eye”,”Vision”,”Black Widow”] Later you decide to split them into a separate list like  favourite=[“Iron Man”,”Thor”,”Hulk”]                                                   less_favourite =[”Spider Man”,”Captain America”,”Black Panther”]                             least_favourite=[”Hawk Eye”,”Vision”,”Black Widow”]  Now, we have 3 lists formed from the main list. Would you want to create these lists again from the beginning? This is where list slicing helps us. Here is the code to  G...
