Complete the code to stop the loop when the number 3 is found.

Python

for num in range(5):
    if num == 3:
        [1]
    print(num)

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using continue instead of break, which skips the rest of the loop but does not stop it.

Using pass, which does nothing and continues the loop.

The break statement stops the loop immediately when the condition is met.

while True:
    print(count)
    count += 1
    if count == 5:
        [1]

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using continue, which skips to the next iteration but does not stop the loop.

Using exit or stop, which are not valid Python statements for loops.

The break statement exits the loop when count equals 5.

Complete the code to stop the loop when the letter 'a' is found.

Python

letters = ['b', 'c', 'a', 'd']
for letter in letters:
    if letter == 'a':
        [1]
    print(letter)

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using continue instead of break, which does not stop the loop.

The break statement stops the loop when 'a' is found.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a loop that prints numbers until it reaches 4, then stops.

Python

for i in range(10):
    print(i)
    if i [1] 4:
        [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A==

B<

Cbreak

Dcontinue

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '<' instead of '==' in the condition.

Using continue instead of break, which skips but does not stop the loop.

The condition i == 4 checks when i is 4, and break stops the loop at that point.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a loop that prints only numbers less than 5 and stops when it reaches 7.

Python

for num in range(10):
    if num [1] 7:
        [2]
    if num [3] 5:
        print(num)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A>=

Bbreak

C<

Dcontinue

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong comparison operators.

Using continue instead of break to stop the loop.

The first condition checks if num >= 7. The break stops the loop at 7. The last condition prints numbers less than 5.
