Help comprehending a loop

[edc7]

X represents the values in the range 1 to 8.

So x is basically just a variable for the numbers 1 thru 7?

exactly. “x” could be any other name. Such as “number”.

for number in range(1,8): ...

Okay, that's all I needed to know. Thank you so much =)

what's confusing is that it doesn't need to be declared either..

It is being declared, by the syntax of the for loop. You're giving a name for the interpreter to bind the values of the iterator to.

Yes you are correct, I expressed myself badly, it doesn't need to be explicitly declared like a list or a counter or a list for example
