Simple iterative for-loops are more of a DIY effort...
There is one case that Python handles more nicely than C.
Just one case? Python is miles away from a C 'for'.
Yes, just one case. In Python you write a loop with one exit in one way, a loop
with two exits in a different way, and a loop with more than two exits in yet
another entirely different way. Can you say “cognitive burden”?
You mean like this:
while True:
if a: break
while True:
if a: break
...
if b: break
while True:
if a: break
...
if b: break
...
if c: break
The for-statement in C handles most of my looping requirements.
(Yeah, you might find that does 'if' and 'goto' does as well! As well as
most other control flow statements including multi-level breaks.)
