print("Hello World")
Alternative implementation:

2
Loop to execute some code a constant number of times
for _ in range(10):
    print("Hello")
Alternative implementation:
print("Hello\n"*10)
Alternative implementation:

while i < 10:
    print('Hello')
    i += 1
Alternative implementation:

Alternative implementation:
for range 10 {

Like a function which doesn't return any value, thus has only side effects (e.g. Print to standard output)
def finish(name):
    print(f'My job here is done. Goodbye {name}')
Alternative implementation:
f = lambda: print('abc')
f()
func finish(name string) {
  fmt.Println("My job here is done. Good bye " + name)
}
Alternative implementation:
finish := func(name string) {
	fmt.Println("My job here is done. Good bye " + name)

}
15
Pick a random integer greater than or equals to a, inferior or equals to b. Precondition : a < b.
random.randint(a,b)
func pick(a,b int) int {
	return a + rand.Intn(b-a+1)
}
Alternative implementation:
func pick(a, b int) int {
	return a + rand.IntN(b-a+1)
}
16

Loop through list items checking a condition. Do something else if no matches are found.

A typical use case is looping through a series of containers looking for one that matches a condition. If found, an item is inserted; otherwise, a new container is created.

These are mostly used as an inner nested loop, and in a location where refactoring inner logic into a separate function reduces clarity.

        print('found it')
        break
else:
