Master Python Loops: For, While, and Control Statements Explained

Python executes code sequentially, but loops allow repeated execution of statements.

Python provides for loops and while loops (there is no do..while loop). The general form of loops in most programming languages is illustrated below.

Loop Types

while loop : executes the loop body while the given condition is true.

for loop : repeats execution of statements.

nested loops : you can nest a for loop inside a while loop.

Loop Control Statements break: terminates the loop and exits it. continue: skips the rest of the current iteration and proceeds to the next. pass: a null statement that does nothing, used to keep program structure.
