[Solved] the continue in for else in python

by


The latest continue takes effect on the outer for loop, as demonstrated by the following example:

>>> for x in [1, 2, 3]:
...     for y in [4, 5, 6]:
...         print('x =', x, 'y =', y)
...     else:
...         continue
...     print('here')
... 
x = 1 y = 4
x = 1 y = 5
x = 1 y = 6
x = 2 y = 4
x = 2 y = 5
x = 2 y = 6
x = 3 y = 4
x = 3 y = 5
x = 3 y = 6

Note that “here” gets never printed.

Also, note that the inner for loop cannot be continued in any way: the else block is executed when the iterator is exhausted (in my example: when all the ys in [4, 5, 6] have been printed) and when no break statements have been executed. Because the iterator has been exhausted, there are no ways to make it produce more values.
