How can I make sense of the `else` clause of Python loops? [closed]

Answer 1

# tested in Python 3.6.4
def buy_fruit(fruits):
    '''I translate the 'else' below into 'if no break' from for loop '''
    for fruit in fruits:
        if 'rotten' in fruit:
            print(f'do not want to buy {fruit}')
            break
    else:  #if no break
        print(f'ready to buy {fruits}')


if __name__ == '__main__':
    a_bag_of_apples = ['golden delicious', 'honeycrisp', 'rotten mcintosh']
    b_bag_of_apples = ['granny smith', 'red delicious', 'honeycrisp', 'gala', 'fuji']
    buy_fruit(a_bag_of_apples)
    buy_fruit(b_bag_of_apples)

'''
do not want to buy rotten mcintosh
ready to buy ['granny smith', 'red delicious', 'honeycrisp', 'gala', 'fuji']
