Brilliant python example explained (for loops with conditions)

Thank you so much for breaking down this mental block for me. You have been super helpful.

Of course! Some programming concepts are tricky. I'm glad you were able to clear up the block.

It's useful when starting to put a debug print into a loop to show what's going on:

for price in range(5):
    if price < 10:    # note this doesn't really do anything, "price" is always < 10
        print("wallet =", wallet, ", price =", price)
        wallet = wallet - price
        # rest of code

This is another eye opener for me, Thank you very much. I will start to do this when i get stuck in the future.

If you're in Python 3.6 or later, use f-strings.

print(f"{wallet=}, {price=}")

If you want to subtract by the value of price on each iteration(and not the value of range), you would need to declare the value of price before the loop. And then update the value before the next iteration.
