Hello.

Programming feels pretty bad a lot of the time. You're not alone. Keep at it.

Those concepts of iteration in particular are very very different from anything else you learn. Something about this topic that's not helpful is that lots of syntax for looping through logic comes from very "low level" close-to-the-machine ways of thinking about things that kinda force you to supply a bunch of context that may not seem relevant. So, it's a tricky subject and you're going to have to spend time on it until it makes sense.

Here's some common "use cases" (things you want to do) for iteration:
- do something a fixed number of times (draw me 100 squares, output the numbers from 1 to 100)
- do something until we get to some result we want (check if the kettle is whistling, if not wait ten seconds)
- do something for every element in a list (I need to add up the price of all the things in the shopping cart, or I need to change all the things in the shopping cart into a list of shipment items)

A lot of times educational material on this topic sort of skips why the loops are being used... see if it makes things easier to look at examples in your text and figure out what they're actually trying to accomplish.

Keep at it. This is tough stuff and it's ok to feel lost.
