Opposite of Python for ... else
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 break
s, put print(n)
in a function so you Don't Repeat Yourself.
A bit more generic solution using exceptions in case you break in multiple points in the loop and don't want to duplicate code:
try:
for n in range(15):
if n == 10:
n = 1200
raise StopIteration()
if n > 4:
n = 1400
raise StopIteration()
except StopIteration:
print n
I didn't really like the answers posted so far, as they all require the body of the loop to be changed, which might be annoying/risky if the body is really complicated, so here is a way to do it using a flag. Replace _break
with found
or something else meaningful for your use case.
_break = True
for n in range(15):
if n == 100:
break
else:
_break = False
if _break:
print(n)
Another possibility, if it is a function that does nothing if the loop doesn't find a match, is to return
in the else:
block:
for n in range(15):
if n == 100:
break
else:
return
print(n)
