Which of the following will not run the loop statement an infinite number of times in Python?

Correct option is D

The loop in option (d), while 1 % 1:, will not run an infinite number of times.
Here's why:
· 1 % 1 evaluates to 0 because the remainder when dividing 1 by 1 is 0.
· In Python, any value that evaluates to 0 is considered False in a Boolean context.
· Since 0 is False, the loop will not execute, and the print("ALWAYS") statement will not be run.
Important Key Points:
1. while loop: The condition in a while loop is checked before each iteration. If the condition evaluates to True, the loop runs; if it evaluates to False, the loop stops.
2. 1 % 1 = 0: Since the modulus operation results in 0, the condition evaluates to False, causing the loop to terminate immediately.
3. Other Loops: In the other options:
· while 21 % 2: will always return 1 (True), as 21 is an odd number.
· while 21 // 2: will return 10 (True), as the floor division of 21 by 2 is 10.
· while True: will run infinitely because True is always true.
Knowledge Booster:
· Option (a): while 21 % 2: will run infinitely because 21 % 2 results in 1 (which is evaluated as True), so the condition remains true.
· Option (b): while 21 // 2: will run infinitely because 21 // 2 results in 10 (which is evaluated as True), so the condition remains true.
· Option (c): while True: will run infinitely because True always evaluates as true.
