Loops

Loops are used when there are multiple elements that need to undergo the same series of calculations or same blocks of code. Typically, items are placed in a list and we write a for loop such that the same block of code is executed across each element in the list.

The key here is that we are not copy-pasting code multiple times to perform this repeated action.

Given a list of integers, you can write a for loop to print each integer in the list. Note, just like conditional statements, indentation matters.

int_list = [1, 2, 3, 4]

for value in int_list:
    print(value)

1
2
3
4

This exercise will build on the previous example, but instead of a single value to test our binge drinking status, you will have a list of values.

Write a for loop that loops over the list of num_drinks, and prints whether or not the person is a binge drinker.
