Question

The following Python code will result in n (14) being printed, as the for loop is completed.

for n in range(15):
    if n == 100:
        break
else:
    print(n)

However, I want the opposite of this. Is there a way to do a for … else (or while … else) loop, but only execute the else code if the loop did break?

Answer 1

There is no explicit for...elseifbreak-like construct in Python (or in any language that I know of) because you can simply do this:

for n in range(15): 
    if n == 100:
        print(n)  
        break

If you have multiple breaks, put print(n) in a function so you Don’t Repeat Yourself.
