bookThe First while Loop

The while loop is used to repeat a block of code as long as a specified condition evaluates to True. The condition is checked at the beginning of each iteration, and the loop stops when the condition becomes False.

condition: a Boolean expression that evaluates to True or False.

We will print all destinations from the travel_list one by one.

123456789
travel_list = ["Monako", "Luxemburg", "Liverpool", "Barcelona", "Munchen"] # Initialize the index i = 0 # Print each destination using a while loop while i < len(travel_list): print(travel_list[i]) i += 1
copy

How does the code work?

  • The variable i starts at 0, which represents the first index of the travel_list;
  • The while loop checks if i is less than the length of the list (len(travel_list)). This ensures the loop doesn't exceed the list bounds;
  • The loop prints the destination at the current index travel_list[i];
  • The variable i is incremented by 1 in each iteration using i += 1;
  • When i becomes equal to the length of the list, the condition evaluates to False, and the loop stops.

Write a program using a while loop to:

  • Print all cities from the travel_list until you encounter the city "Barcelona".
  • Stop printing as soon as "Barcelona" is found, without printing it.
