Chapter 4 / Level 2: For Loop

Teaching Objective:

• Student learns syntax of a for loop
• Understands how the for loop is different from a while loop
• Learns use cases and structures for for loops

Guide

In order to complete the level, the student must use the for loop in order to reach the exit. The for loop allows you to repeat the same code a set number of times. The range() part of the loop code determines how many times the looping code code is run, in the case of the following example it is four.

for x in range(4):
    player.move_forward(2)
    player.turn_left()
    player.move_forward(2)
    player.turn_right()

Remember you must indent the code that comes after the loop code in order for it to be part of the loop, otherwise the code won’t loop.

Loop your movements across the hedge maze and reach the exit to complete the level.
