Break vs continue execution difference in Python - Interactive Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

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)

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

Bcontinue

Cpass

Dexit

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

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

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

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to skip printing the number 3 but continue the loop.

Python

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

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

Acontinue

Bbreak

Cpass

Dstop

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using break which stops the loop entirely instead of skipping one iteration.

The continue statement skips the current loop iteration and moves to the next one.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to correctly skip even numbers and print only odd numbers.

Python

for num in range(1, 6):
    if num % 2 == 0:
        [1]
    print(num)

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

Apass

Bskip

Ccontinue

Dbreak

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using break stops the loop too early, printing fewer numbers.

Using continue skips even numbers and prints only odd numbers.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary of squares for numbers less than 5, skipping number 3.

Python

squares = {x: x[1]2 for x in range(1, 7) if x [2] 5 and x != 3}

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

A**

B<

C>

D+

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using + instead of ** for squaring, or > instead of < for filtering.

Use ** for power and < to filter numbers less than 5.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a dictionary of uppercase keys and values greater than 2.

Python

result = { [1]: [2] for k, v in data.items() if v [3] 2}

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

Ak.upper()

Bv

C>

Dk.lower()

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using k.lower() instead of k.upper(), or using < instead of > for filtering.

Use k.upper() for uppercase keys, v for values, and > to filter values greater than 2.
