Introduction
Loops are used to repeat code over a fixed number of cycles, or indefinitely based on logic. There are two main types of loops: for
loops, and while
loops.
For Loops
For loops run code iteratively, once per item, over each item in an iterable data type like a tuple or list.
my_list = [1,2,3,4,5]
for item in my_list:
print(item)
1
2
3
4
5
While Loops
while
loops, run code cyclically based on a conditional statement
ii = 0
while ii<5:
print(ii)
ii=ii+1
0
1
2
3
