while-loop与for-loop

### while loops 定义与实例 ~~~ i = 0 numbers = [] while i < 6: print "At the top i is %d" % i numbers.append(i) i = i + 1 print "Numbers now: ", numbers print "At the bottom i is %d" % i print "The numbers: " for num in numbers: print num， ~~~ 输出 ~~~ At the top i is 0 Numbers now: [0] At the bottom i is 1 At the top i is 1 Numbers now: [0, 1] At the bottom i is 2 At the top i is 2 Numbers now: [0, 1, 2] At the bottom i is 3 At the top i is 3 Numbers now: [0, 1, 2, 3] At the bottom i is 4 At the top i is 4 Numbers now: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4] At the bottom i is 5 At the top i is 5 Numbers now: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] At the bottom i is 6 The numbers: 0 1 2 3 4 5 ~~~ ### for loops 定义和实例 ~~~ elements = [] # then use the range function to do 0 to 5 counts for i in range(0, 6): print "Adding %d to the list." % i # append is a function that lists understand elements.append(i) ~~~ ### A&Q **What's the difference between a for-loop**and a **while-loop**? ans:   A for-loop can only iterate (loop) "over" collections of things. A while-loop can do any kind of iteration (looping) you want. However, while-loops are harder to get right and you normally can get many things done with for-loops.
