Question

I’m pretty new at python and I was wondering if this:

def func(self, foo):
    for foo in self.list:
        if foo.boolfunc(): return True
    return False

is good practice.

Can I return out of a loop like the above or should i use a while-loop, like so?

def func(self, foo):  
    found = false
    while(not found & i < len(self.list)):
        found = foo.boolfunc()
        ++i
    return found

My java-professor warns us never to use breaks in our loops, but this technically isn’t a break and it’s more concise, so… yeah

thanks

There’s nothing wrong with your example, but it’s better to write

def func(self, foo):
    return any(foo.boolfunc() for foo in self.list)
