Else Clauses on Loops

Did you know that loop statements may have an else clause?
Well, it turns out that they can be used!

  • else clause will be executed when the loop completes through all of the iterations with for loop and when the condition becomes false with while loop.

Example:
Alt Text

Output:

Searching...
Searching...
Searching...
Searching...
Searching...
Searching...
Searching...
Searching...
Treasure not found :(
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • But else clause will not be executed when the loop is terminated by a break statement.

Example:
Alt Text

Output:

Searching...
Searching...
Searching...
Searching...
Found the treasure
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
