While & For Loops - aditvaddi - Jun-22-2018

while True:
	for i in range(1,5):
		if i==3:
			continue
	print("{:>2}SAM".format(i))

For this piece of code, why does it infinitely print out only 4SAM instead of infinitely doing:
1SAM
2SAM
3SAM
4SAM

and so on..

indent your print, it's not part of the inner for loop

the while will make this run forever, remove it

if i != 3:
    print(...)

makes more sense. continue should be avoided - unless you check the condition close to the beginning of the cycle, and you want to avoid indenting large block of code

for <>:
    if i == 3:
        continue
    <long
    block 
    of 
    code
    saved
    from
    indentation>
