Loops and Strings

Overview

In this course, you'll explore loops, which repeat a portion of code until a process is complete. You’ll learn how to work with different kinds of iterative or repeating code, such as for loops and while loops. Then, you'll explore strings, which are sequences of characters like letters or punctuation marks. You’ll learn how to manipulate strings by indexing, slicing, and formatting them. By the end of this course, you will be able to: • Describe how to manipulate strings using techniques such as concatenating, indexing, slicing, and formatting • Summarize the syntax of the range() function • Explain the purpose and logic of iterative statements such as for loops and while loops

Syllabus

While loops

You'll explore loops, which repeat a portion of code until a process is complete. You’ll learn how to work with different kinds of iterative or repeating code, such as while loops.

For loops

You'll explore for loops, another kind of iterative or repeating code.

Strings

You'll explore strings, which are sequences of characters like letters or punctuation marks. You’ll learn how to manipulate strings by indexing, slicing, and formatting them.
