How to break while loop in an inner for loop in python?

break, for-loop, python, while-loop

Solution

Until the inner loop "returns", the condition in the outer loop will never be re-examined. If you need this check to happen every time after `i` changes, do this instead:

while i<=10:
    for a in xrange(1, x+1):
        print "ok"
        i+=1
        if i > 10:
            break

That `break` will only exit the inner loop, but since the outer loop condition will evaluate to `False`, it will exit that too.
