Guessing game
|
|
|
|
|
want to force the user to enter valid input instead of crashing
|
|
|
|
|
need to repeat getting input, but we don't know how many times to repeat
|
|
|
|
|
the only loop we've seen, the for loop, is definite—it goes through each element of a finite sequence and then it's done
|
|
|
|
|
we want a loop that will repeat until some condition is satisfied
|
|
|
|
|
to the rescue: the while loop (an indefinite loop)
|
|
|
|
|
while <condition>:
<loop body>
|
|
|
|
|
at the start, and every time be finish the loop, <condition> is checked
|
|
|
|
|
if True, we repeat the loop again
|
|
|
|
|
if False, we skip past the loop
|
|
|
|
|
infinite loop?!

Quiz reflections
|
|
|
|
|
quiz turned out trickier than I intended
|
|
|
|
|
I felt many scores were not reflective of the effort you have been putting into this course nor the progress you are making in understanding the material
|
|
|
|
|
our goal is learning not judging
|
|
|
|
|
you can get back up to 70% of the points you missed by submitting a quiz reflection (due by the beginning of class on Friday)
|
|
|
|
|
on separate paper, correct your answers and include a short discussion of why you went wrong (what confused you, what you didn't understand, what you forgot, what you didn't notice, etc.)
