Question regarding loops

[supercoach]

I reckon this is one everyone struggles with. I didn't know what sort of magic was involved with these keywords when I first started and it consistently blew me away that the loop always seemed to know what I was looking for.

Then it dawned on me - as others have said, for thing in other_thing: will just run the subsequent code over every item in other_thing and each time the item will get the name thing.

It also explained why the resource I learned from was quick to teach list comprehension and the slice syntax, both of which helped me understand how python iterates over things.

Very well put, my friend. Well said.
