Hello! I am the elder of our class. At the end of the school year, I need to collect all the textbooks from my classmates and put them to the library. According to the rules, each student must submit exactly 10 textbooks.
rnI need a program that will help me keep records. The program must first ask how many students will take all the students today. Then she should take turns for each student to ask how many textbooks he brought.
rnrn
in parallel the program should consider the total number of all assembled textbooks. When a survey of all students will be completed, the program must derive the final number of books collected.

Well done, all textbooks are on the spot!
You have not passed all the textbooks. Not enough: 2
You have passed extra textbooks! Extra: 1
Total textbooks: 29

forcycleThe for loop in Python is your main tool for iterating through elements in any sequence. Imagine that you have a box with different items. The for loop allows you to take one item at a time, do something with it, and move on to the next until the items in the box run out.
It is used to iterate over sequences such as lists, strings, tuples, sets, or even keys in a dictionary. The same block of code is executed for each element of the sequence.
Syntax:
for element in sequence:
# a block of code that will be executed for each element
# IMPORTANT: this block must be indented!
Here, the element is a temporary variable that is assigned a different value from the sequence at each iteration. You can name this variable any way you want, but it's better to choose a meaningful name (for example, fruit for a list of fruits or letter for a string).
A list is an ordered collection of items. The for loop will run through it from the first element to the last.
fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
for fruit in fruit:
print(fruit)
Conclusion:
apple
banana
cherry
A string is, in fact, a sequence of characters. Therefore, the for loop can iterate over it just as easily.
word = "Python"
for a letter in a word:
print(letter)
Conclusion:
P
y
t
h
o
n
break and continueSometimes you don't have to go through the whole cycle to the end. There are special operators for this.
break operatorThe break operator is used to immediately and completely terminate the loop. As soon as the program encounters a break, it immediately exits the loop and continues execution from the next line of code after it.
A useful tip: break is indispensable when you are looking for something. Once you've found what you're looking for, there's no point in continuing the search.
Example: We have a list of numbers, and we want to find the first even number and stop the loop as soon as it is found.
numbers = [1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10]
for num in numbers:
if num % 2 == 0: # Check for parity
print(f"The first even number is found: {num}")
break # Immediately exit the loop
print("The loop is completed.")
Conclusion:
The first even number was found: 6
The cycle is completed.
Please note that the numbers 7, 9, and 10 were not checked, as the cycle was interrupted by the number 6.
continue operatorThe continue operator is used to skip the current iteration and immediately move on to the next one. All the code that is in the loop after continue will not be executed for the current element.
A useful tip: continue is very convenient for "filtering" data inside a loop. If the current item doesn't suit you by some criterion, you just skip it and move on to the next one.
Example: We have a list of numbers, and we want to output all the numbers except the even ones.
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
for num in numbers:
if num % 2 == 0: # Check for parity
continue # If the number is even, skip print() and go to the next number.
print(num)
Conclusion:
1
3
5
7
9
When num was equal to 2, 4, 6, etc., the if condition was met, continue skipped the print(num) command, and the loop immediately started a new iteration.
break and continue is in a nutshellbreak: "Stop, car!". Stops the cycle completely.continue: "This one doesn't fit, let's do the next one!". Skips only the current step.else block in the forThe for loop may have an optional else block. This block is executed only if the loop has completed all its iterations naturally, that is, it has not been interrupted by the break operator.
A useful tip: It is a very powerful tool for search tasks. The else block makes it easy to handle a situation where the search has ended but nothing has been found.
Example 1: The loop ended normally
for number in range(3):
print(number)
else:
print("The cycle is completed without interruptions.")
Conclusion:
0
1
2
The cycle is completed without interruptions.
Example 2: The loop is interrupted by the break
for number in range(3):
if number == 1:
print("We found 1, we break the loop.")
break
print(number)
else:
# This block will not be executed because there was a break
print("The cycle is completed without interruptions.")
Conclusion:
0
We found 1, we interrupt the cycle.
This is a classic task for understanding how to work with a cycle and accumulate results.
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
amount = 0 # Initialize the variable to store the amount BEFORE the loop
for a number in numbers:
sum += number # At each iteration, we add the current number to the total
print(f' Sum: {sum}') # Output the final result AFTER the loop
Conclusion: Amount: 15
A useful tip: Although this method perfectly demonstrates how the loop works, in real code it is better to use the built-in sum() function to find the sum of the list elements: print(sum(numbers)). It's shorter and more efficient.
Here we assume that the first element is the maximum, and then in the loop we compare it with all the others.
numbers = [1, 7, 3, 9, 5]
maximum = numbers[0] # We take the first element as the temporary maximum
for a number in numbers:
if the number is > maximum: # If we find a number greater than our maximum...
maximum = number # ...then we update the maximum
print(f' Maximum: {maximum}')
Conclusion: Maximum: 9
A useful tip: As with the sum, Python has a built-in function max() for this task: print(max(numbers)). Knowing these functions saves time, but understanding how they work using the for loop is a key skill for a programmer.
# Запрашиваем общее количество учеников, которые будут сдавать учебники
total_students = int(input())
# Создаем переменную для хранения общего количества собранных учебников, начальное значение - 0
total_books = 0
# Устанавливаем норму учебников на одного ученика
required_books = 10
# Запускаем цикл, который повторится для каждого ученика
for i in range(total_students):
# Запрашиваем количество учебников у текущего ученика
student_books = int(input())
# Добавляем сданные книги к общему счетчику
total_books = total_books + student_books
# Проверяем, соответствует ли количество сданных книг норме
if student_books == required_books:
# Если ученик сдал ровно 10 книг
print("Молодец, все учебники на месте!")
elif student_books < required_books:
# Если ученик сдал меньше 10 книг
print(f"Ты сдал не все учебники. Не хватает: {required_books - student_books}")
else:
# Если ученик сдал больше 10 книг
print(f"Ты сдал лишние учебники! Лишних: {student_books - required_books}")
# После того как все ученики сдадут учебники, выводим итоговое количество
print(f"\nВсего собрано учебников: {total_books}")1 - Read the task and understand what needs to be done
2 - The example shows how the input data will be provided and what output is expected
3 - Write the code considering the input, output, and the task itself.
1 - The “Run” button executes your code only on one set of input data, and you’ll see the result in the output window.
2 - The “Test on All Cases” button runs your code against all test cases. If all tests pass, a banner will appear. If even one test fails, it will be highlighted in red.
To change the input data, click the “Run Test” button next to the input data you want to execute.
1 - Input Data is the window containing the values loaded into your program in place of input()
2 - Program Output is the window showing what your program prints. If it’s green, the output matches the expected result; if red, there are differences.
3 - Expected Output is the reference value used to verify the solution.
1 - Green means the program produced the correct output
2 - Red means the program’s output didn’t match the expected output for this data. The program output and the expected output must be identical, including spaces and punctuation!
If you see this banner, congratulations — everything is correct.
1 - The first 10 tasks are quite easy and contain hints covering only the essential parts of the topic.
2 - The next 10 tasks are medium difficulty. Their hints differ from the easy ones and reveal new aspects of the topic.
3 - The hardest tasks have no hints. Often, they include additional topics, so sometimes it’s better to move on and return later. Read the hints carefully — they offer new ways to solve already familiar problems.
