这里,对于一个非质数,执行了内层循环的break语句,却没有执行外层循环的else语句,这是为什么呢?

here, for a non prime number, the break statement in the inner loop is executed but the else statement of the outer loop is not executed, why?

L = []
nmax = 30

for n in range(2, nmax):
    for factor in L:
        if n % factor == 0:
            break
    else: # no break
        L.append(n)
print(L)

如果内循环中没有执行 if 语句,外循环中的 else 是否工作...尽管处于不同的循环中,它们是否真的连接在一起

else 不连接到 if 语句,而是连接到 break 语句。

for/else语法的意思是如果for循环里面有nobreakencountered就会执行else块.

这里有一个例子供大家理解:

fruits = ["Orange", "Apple", "Banana", "Strawberry"]

def searchFruit(wanted):
    for fruit in fruits:
        if fruit == wanted:
            break
    else: # Can't find the wanted fruit
        return False
    # Found the wanted fruit
    return True

searchFruit("Tomato") # Output : False
