During spirit splash, each box is labeled for the different zones. We will call our list box. Your goal is to create a for loop with the counting variable i that will send out only the odd boxes. You must only write the for loop, and remember the colon at the end. Question 2 This time, we want to send out the first half of the boxes (rounded down). Write a for loop that will loop through the first half of the list. Use i as the counting variable.

Final answer:

To send out only the odd boxes, use a for loop starting from 1 and incrementing by 2. To send out the first half of the boxes, loop from 0 to half the length of the list.

Step-by-step explanation:

To create a for loop that sends out only the odd boxes, you can start the loop from 1 and increment the counting variable 'i' by 2 in each iteration. This way, 'i' will always hold the value of an odd number. Here's an example:

for i in range(1, len(box)+1, 2):

To send out the first half of the boxes, you can use the 'len(box)//2' to get the rounded down value of half the length of the list. Then, you can loop from 0 to 'len(box)//2' using 'i' as the counting variable. Here's an example:

for i in range(len(box)//2):

Below are the for loops for the tasks:

In terms of Task 1: Send out only the odd boxes.

python

for i in range(len(box)):

if i % 2 != 0:

# Process or send out the odd box labeled with box[i]

print("Sending out box:", box[i])

In terms ofTask 2: Loop through the first half of the list (rounded down).

python

half_length = len(box) // 2

for i in range(half_length):

# Process or use the box labeled with box[i]

print("Processing box:", box[i])

So, in the first loop, i is the counting variable that ranges from 0 to the length of the box list minus 1 (len(box)). The condition if i % 2 != 0 checks if i is an odd number. If it is, the code inside the loop will be executed.

Also, in the second loop, half_length is calculated as the integer division (//) of the length of the box list by 2. This gives us the index up to which we want to iterate to cover the first half of the list (rounded down).
