To use a while loop to continually display messages in Python, you can follow these steps:
- Create a variable to store the message that you want to display.
- Start a while loop that continues indefinitely using the
True
keyword. - Inside the while loop, use the
print()
function to display the message. - Use the
time.sleep()
function to pause for a specific amount of time between each message.
Here is an example code that displays a message every 5 seconds using a while loop:
import time
message = "Hello! This is a message."
while True:
print(message)
time.sleep(5)
This program will display the message “Hello! This is a message.” every 5 seconds until you stop the program manually using Ctrl+C on a Windows machine or COMMAND+C on a Mac.
