Subject: Re: [Tutor] How and where to use pass and continue
To: Kevin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi Kevin,
I generally use pass as a placeholder -
if you have a function that you want to define so you can use it
without creating syntax errors, but you haven't written it yet, it's
just a case of -
def neededFunc(x):
pass
continue is good.
say you have a loop -
for i in range(10):
if i % 2 == 0:
continue
print i * 3
So, what the loop does, is it gets i, checks if i divided by 2 has
zero remainder and if it does, it continues.
Which, basically means, it doesn't do anything else in the loop (i.e.
print i * 3), it just goes back, get the next value of i, and go
through the loop again.
You'll find you don't need continue that often. It's good for checking
an value in a list you're looping through meets your criteria before
passing it to a big function.
That's about it.
HTH,
Liam Clarke
