How can I break out of nested loops in Python cleanly?

Using a while loop with a condition: Here’s another perspective from my experience. You can use a while loop and a condition to simulate breaking out of nested loops. Check this out:

x = 0
while x < 10:
    y = 0
    while y < 10:
        print(x * y)
        if x * y > 50:
            break
        y += 1
    if x * y > 50:
        break
    x += 1

This uses while loops with a condition to control when to break out of both loops. It’s a slightly different way to handle the same scenario while maintaining readability and control. For me, it’s particularly useful when dealing with more dynamic loop ranges.
