My code below is not generalized; it handles each line of output as a special case. How I could get the same output using a while or for statement?
string = "Apple"
i = 0
one = string[0:i+1]
two = string[0:i+2]
three = string[0:i+3]
four = string[0:i+4]
five = string[0:i+5]
print(one)
print(two)
print(three)
print(four)
print(five)
I have the following result:
A
Ap
App
Appl
Apple
Note that your variable i is useless: you set it to 0 and then use it only to add to things. Dump it.
This is a simple usage of the loop index:
for i in range(len(string)):
print string[0:i+1]
Note that you can drop the 0 from the print statement.
In Python we can iterate through a string to get the individual characters.
output = ''
for letter in 'Apple':
output += letter
print (output)
With a for loop:
for i in range(len(string)):
print(string[0:i+1])
With a while loop:
j = 0
while j < len(string):
j += 1
print(string[0:j])
