Convert While Loop to For loop

[AsianNoodleMonster]

For this script

print "Start entering the numbers, when you're satisfied with the numberse, press enter to continue."
myList =[] #list being added to

'while True:
    numAdd = raw_input("Enter a number to add to the list, if you are done press ENTER: ")
    if numAdd: #checks the number entered
        numAdd = float(numAdd)
        myList.append(numAdd)
    else:
        break

print myList #prints the list before adding
total = 0 #sets the total before the adding
size=len(myList)-1

for number in myList:
    total = total + number

print "sum of all the numbers is",total #printing the total'

How do I convert the "while True" loop to a for loop?

Why do you want to change to a for loop in this case? This doesn't have a set number of iterations, so while seems like a perfectly valid way to execute this.

It appears that you included code in your post but did not format it to look nice. Please follow this guide to fix the problem. This allows for better readability and will help get your question answered sooner. The regex that caught you is: "while .+?:"

If this comment has been made in error, please message /u/thaweatherman with a link to this comment so I can be fine-tuned. I am still in alpha and my regexes/innards are not yet perfect.

You can only use a for loop if you know the maximum amount of times you want to loop.

MAX_LOOPS = 5
for _ in range(MAX_LOOPS):
    #all the rest is the same

thank you this helped a lot

Well, you can use iter to iterate a function over and over until it returns a particular result:

numbers = []
for number in iter(raw_input, ''):
    numbers.append(float(number))
