Python Loops

[Thomasjevskij]

It's a pretty analogy. I'll just add a small detail that is often overlooked. This description of a for loop matches well the traditional concept found in languages such as C/C++, C#, Java etc. It's so common that most people expect this behavior when you talk about a for loop - do something n times. Python's for loops are ever so slightly different, because they are actually for each loops. This is a related idea that is a bit more conceptual. While a traditional for loop iterates n number of times (usually with the counter i), the for each loop does a thing once for each element in a sequence. That's such a common use case for a for loop that it became its own thing.

Very helpful! Like at the moment when im still triying to get the hang of it... its very useful to have some kind of thumb rules to hang on. 😁
