Lesson 066: while loops and controlled repetition

Focus

Slow tempo wins; narrate checkpoints aloud: Basic drills while loops and controlled repetition; spin token 603047 makes this page unlike its neighbours.

Key ideas

Angle Basic: micro cadence 6 mixes while loops and controlled repetition; spin 23299.
Ritual: Predict the checksum line, then reconcile on mismatch.
Guardrail: call out latent off-by-one before shipping analogues.

Example (`LESSON_UID = "basic-066"`)

# Basic drill L066 topic-6 micro-5 pattern-1
LESSON_UID = "basic-066"
spin_a, spin_b, spin_c = 525, 306, 942

left, right = spin_a + 66, spin_b + 5
print(divmod(left + 5, max(3, (spin_c % 9) + 2)))
acc = (547 + 66) % (439 % 881 + 5 + 1)
for step in range(3 + (6 % 4)):
    acc = acc * (spin_a % 11 + 3) % 100003
    if acc % (spin_b % 8 + 2) == 0:
        print("hit", step, acc)
print("trail", acc)

Practice

Practice 38: Clone twice: expand literals vs shrink loops; compare narrative. Literal nudge 38.
