The code

Straight from labs/course-3-python/02c_loop_control.py, unchanged.

"""Experiment 2(c): Illustrate the loop control statements break, continue
and pass.

  break    -- leave the loop immediately
  continue -- skip the rest of this iteration, go to the next
  pass     -- do nothing; a syntactic placeholder where a statement is required

Syllabus: Course 3, Unit 2 -- loop control statements.

Where this sits

One experiment from the Python Programming and Data Structures lab. The rest of them, and the theory behind this one, are on the lab page.
