Description

Loops allow programmers to repeat a block of code several times. The Python language includes two types of loops, each used for specific purposes:

• while loops: Loop body will continue executing until a condition fails.
• for loops: Loop body will execute a specified number of times, or for each item of a container (like characters in a string).

Python docs has outlined many useful patterns to use when looping over sequences and dictionairies: Looping Techniques

Python Control Structures

Loops are one of three program control structures. These control structures dictate the order in which a program’s code executes:

• Sequential: Code is executed linearly, one after the other.
• Selection: Different block(s) of code are executed based on the results of a condition.
• Iteration: Repeating a block of code several times.
