Python: Do While Loop Real Examples

Image
While it is one of the loops in Python. The specialty is it never be false. You already know that in my previous post I have shared For Loop in Python . The for loop can be false. I am giving here one best example: print("Help! My computer doesn't work!") while True: print("Does the computer make any sounds (fans, etc.)") choice = input(" or show any lights? (y/n):") In the above logic, while is always true. When in input user can give 'Y/N'. if choice == 'n': # The computer does not have power print (" Do not show lights") if choice == 'y': # It is power plugged in print ("show lights") So, while is always true. Based on input the while loop works. Python is having the below list of Keywords. Pythons Reserved Words The Python reserved words are: and, exec, not, assert, finally, or, break, for, pass, class, form, print, continue, global, raise, def, if,

PL/SQL is procedural language, and the PL/SQL procedures you can call from any high-level language. This is depending on your project requirement. PL SQL  How to prevent some common errors or exceptions while writing PL/SQL procedures in your project. The number one and primary one is assigning variables non-numeric to numeric. This is one kind of area where you need to look in while writing PL/SQL procedure. PL/SQL is nothing but an invitation for trouble. They are all centered on data types and implicit conversion. What's implicit conversion? Let's say you have number held in a varchar2 data type variable, v_value. You try assigning n_value, a number data type variable, that value with the following line of code:n_value := v_value; That should work, right? Yes, it should, but when it doesn't, because you don't actually have a numeric literal stored in variable v_value, the implicit data type conversion will raise an "unexpected" exception in
