looping in python

 In Python, loops allow you to repeatedly execute a block of code based on a condition. There are two types of loops in Python: for loops and while loops.

For Loops

A for loop is used to iterate over a sequence of values, such as a list or a string. Here's an example:

css
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"] 
for x in fruits: 
    print(x)

In this example, the for loop iterates over each element in the fruits list, and the print() statement prints each element to the console.

You can also use the range() function to generate a sequence of numbers to iterate over. For example:

scss
for x in range(5): 
    print(x)

This will print the numbers 0 through 4 to the console.

While Loops

A while loop is used to repeatedly execute a block of code as long as a certain condition is true. Here's an example:

css
i = 0 
while i < 5: 
    print(i)
    i += 1

In this example, the while loop executes as long as i is less than 5. The print() statement prints the value of i to the console, and the i += 1 statement increments the value of i by 1 on each iteration of the loop.

It's important to be careful with while loops to avoid creating an infinite loop that never terminates. Make sure that the condition that controls the loop will eventually become false.
