The 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

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.

Task

You are a data analyst working on a program that processes country data. Your task is to select half of the countries from the provided list. Since efficiency is key, you decide to automate this selection using a while loop.

Iterate through the list using a while loop, selecting only the first half of the countries.
Store the selected countries in the selected list.
