For Loop

For loop dùng để iterate qua một sequence (list, tuple, string, etc.).

Cú Pháp Cơ Bản

# Syntax: for item in iterable:#             code block # Loop qua listfruits = ["apple", "banana", "orange"]for fruit in fruits:    print(fruit)# apple# banana# orange # Loop qua stringfor char in "Python":    print(char)# P, y, t, h, o, n # Loop qua tuplecolors = ("red", "green", "blue")for color in colors:    print(color)

range() Function

range() tạo sequence của numbers.

# range(stop) - từ 0 đến stop-1for i in range(5):    print(i, end=" ")# 0 1 2 3 4 # range(start, stop) - từ start đến stop-1for i in range(2, 6):    print(i, end=" ")# 2 3 4 5 # range(start, stop, step) - với bước nhảyfor i in range(0, 10, 2):    print(i, end=" ")# 0 2 4 6 8 # Đếm ngượcfor i in range(10, 0, -1):    print(i, end=" ")# 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 # Ứng dụng# Print multiplication tablen = 5for i in range(1, 11):    print(f"{n} x {i} = {n * i}")

enumerate() - Loop với Index

enumerate() trả về cả index và value.

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "orange"] # Với enumeratefor index, fruit in enumerate(fruits):    print(f"{index}: {fruit}")# 0: apple# 1: banana# 2: orange # Start index từ 1for index, fruit in enumerate(fruits, start=1):    print(f"{index}. {fruit}")# 1. apple# 2. banana# 3. orange # Ứng dụng: tìm vị trínumbers = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]for i, num in enumerate(numbers):    if num == 30:        print(f"Found 30 at index {i}")

zip() - Loop Nhiều Iterables

zip() kết hợp nhiều iterables.

names = ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"]ages = [25, 30, 35] # Zip 2 listsfor name, age in zip(names, ages):    print(f"{name} is {age} years old")# Alice is 25 years old# Bob is 30 years old# Charlie is 35 years old # Zip 3 listscities = ["Hanoi", "HCMC", "Danang"]for name, age, city in zip(names, ages, cities):    print(f"{name}, {age}, lives in {city}") # Zip với enumeratefor i, (name, age) in enumerate(zip(names, ages), 1):    print(f"{i}. {name}: {age}") # ⚠️ Zip stops at shortestlist1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]list2 = ["a", "b", "c"]for num, letter in zip(list1, list2):    print(num, letter)# 1 a# 2 b# 3 c

Loop qua Dictionary

person = {    "name": "Alice",    "age": 25,    "city": "Hanoi"} # Loop qua keys (default)for key in person:    print(key)# name, age, city # Loop qua keys (explicit)for key in person.keys():    print(f"{key}: {person[key]}") # Loop qua valuesfor value in person.values():    print(value) # Loop qua items (key-value pairs) - recommendedfor key, value in person.items():    print(f"{key}: {value}")

While Loop

While loop chạy khi condition còn True.

Cú Pháp Cơ Bản

# Syntax: while condition:#             code block # Đếm từ 1 đến 5count = 1while count <= 5:    print(count)    count += 1# 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 # Sum numberstotal = 0num = 1while num <= 10:    total += num    num += 1print(f"Sum: {total}")  # 55 # User input loopwhile True:    answer = input("Continue? (yes/no): ")    if answer.lower() == "no":        break    print("Continuing...")

While với Condition

# Đợi đến khi đủ điều kiệnpassword = ""while password != "secret":    password = input("Enter password: ")    if password != "secret":        print("Wrong password, try again")print("Access granted!") # Tìm số chia hếtn = 100while n % 7 != 0:    n += 1print(f"First number >= 100 divisible by 7: {n}") # Fibonaccia, b = 0, 1while a < 100:    print(a, end=" ")    a, b = b, a + b# 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89

Loop Control - break và continue

break - Thoát Loop

break thoát khỏi loop ngay lập tức.

# Tìm số đầu tiênnumbers = [1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12]for num in numbers:    if num % 2 == 0:        print(f"Found even number: {num}")        break# Found even number: 8 (dừng ngay) # Search in listnames = ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie", "Diana"]search = "Charlie"found = False for name in names:    if name == search:        print(f"Found {search}!")        found = True        break if not found:    print(f"{search} not found") # Break khỏi whilecount = 0while True:    count += 1    if count > 5:        break    print(count)# 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

continue - Skip Iteration

continue bỏ qua iteration hiện tại, chuyển sang iteration tiếp theo.

# Skip số chẵnfor i in range(10):    if i % 2 == 0:        continue    print(i, end=" ")# 1 3 5 7 9 # Skip negativenumbers = [1, -2, 3, -4, 5, -6]for num in numbers:    if num < 0:        continue    print(num, end=" ")# 1 3 5 # Process valid itemsitems = ["apple", "", "banana", None, "orange", ""]for item in items:    if not item:  # Skip empty/None        continue    print(f"Processing: {item}")

else Clause trong Loop

else chạy khi loop kết thúc bình thường (không break).

# Tìm số nguyên tốnumber = 17for i in range(2, number):    if number % i == 0:        print(f"{number} is not prime")        breakelse:    print(f"{number} is prime") # Search với elsenames = ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"]search = "Diana" for name in names:    if name == search:        print(f"Found {search}")        breakelse:    print(f"{search} not found") # While với elsecount = 0while count < 5:    print(count)    count += 1else:    print("Loop completed normally")

Nested Loops

Nested loops là loops bên trong loops.

# Basic nested loopfor i in range(3):    for j in range(3):        print(f"({i}, {j})", end=" ")    print()# (0, 0) (0, 1) (0, 2)# (1, 0) (1, 1) (1, 2)# (2, 0) (2, 1) (2, 2) # Multiplication tablefor i in range(1, 6):    for j in range(1, 11):        print(f"{i}x{j}={i*j:2d}", end="  ")    print() # Pattern printing# *# **# ***# ****for i in range(1, 5):    for j in range(i):        print("*", end="")    print() # 2D list iterationmatrix = [    [1, 2, 3],    [4, 5, 6],    [7, 8, 9]] for row in matrix:    for item in row:        print(item, end=" ")    print()

Break trong Nested Loops

# Break chỉ thoát inner loopfor i in range(3):    for j in range(3):        if j == 1:            break        print(f"({i}, {j})")# (0, 0), (1, 0), (2, 0) # Break cả outer loop (dùng flag)found = Falsefor i in range(3):    for j in range(3):        if i == 1 and j == 1:            found = True            break    if found:        break    print(f"Row {i} complete")

List Comprehension vs Loop

# Traditional loopsquares = []for i in range(10):    squares.append(i ** 2) # List comprehension (preferred)squares = [i ** 2 for i in range(10)] # With condition# Traditionalevens = []for i in range(10):    if i % 2 == 0:        evens.append(i) # List comprehensionevens = [i for i in range(10) if i % 2 == 0]

4. Pattern Printing

# Trianglen = 5print("Right Triangle:")for i in range(1, n + 1):    print("*" * i) # Inverted Triangleprint("\nInverted Triangle:")for i in range(n, 0, -1):    print("*" * i) # Pyramidprint("\nPyramid:")for i in range(1, n + 1):    spaces = " " * (n - i)    stars = "*" * (2 * i - 1)    print(spaces + stars) # Diamondprint("\nDiamond:")# Upper halffor i in range(1, n + 1):    print(" " * (n - i) + "*" * (2 * i - 1))# Lower halffor i in range(n - 1, 0, -1):    print(" " * (n - i) + "*" * (2 * i - 1)) # Number patternprint("\nNumber Pattern:")for i in range(1, 6):    for j in range(1, i + 1):        print(j, end=" ")    print()

5. Prime Number Finder

def is_prime(n):    """Check if number is prime"""    if n < 2:        return False    for i in range(2, int(n ** 0.5) + 1):        if n % i == 0:            return False    return True # Find all primes up to 100primes = []for num in range(2, 101):    if is_prime(num):        primes.append(num) print(f"Primes up to 100: {len(primes)}")print(primes) # Print in rows of 10print("\nFormatted:")for i, prime in enumerate(primes):    print(f"{prime:3d}", end=" ")    if (i + 1) % 10 == 0:        print()

Performance Tips

# 1. Avoid modifying list while iterating# ❌ Saiitems = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]for item in items:    if item % 2 == 0:        items.remove(item)  # Dangerous! # ✅ Đúngitems = [item for item in items if item % 2 != 0] # 2. Use enumerate thay vì range(len())# ❌ Không tốtfruits = ["apple", "banana", "orange"]for i in range(len(fruits)):    print(f"{i}: {fruits[i]}") # ✅ Tốt hơnfor i, fruit in enumerate(fruits):    print(f"{i}: {fruit}") # 3. Use built-in functions# ❌ Chậmtotal = 0for num in numbers:    total += num # ✅ Nhanh hơntotal = sum(numbers)
