Introduction

As one of the most basic functions in programming, loops are an important piece to nearly every programming language. Loops enable developers to set certain portions of their code to repeat through a number of loops which are referred to as iterations. This topic covers using multiple types of loops and applications of loops in Python.

Syntax

• while <boolean expression>:
• for <variable> in <iterable>:
• for <variable> in range(<number>):
• for <variable> in range(<start_number>, <end_number>):
• for <variable> in range(<start_number>, <end_number>, <step_size>):
• for i, <variable> in enumerate(<iterable>): # with index i
• for <variable1>, <variable2> in zip(<iterable1>, <iterable2>):
