Loops are fundamental programming constructs that allow you to execute a block of code repeatedly. This is incredibly useful for tasks that involve processing multiple items in a list, performing an action a specific number of times, or repeating something until a certain condition is met. Python provides two main types of loops: for loops and while loops. For loops are used for iterating over sequences like lists, strings, or ranges, while while loops execute code as long as a condition remains true. For loops in Python are used to iterate over sequences. You can loop through lists containing numbers or strings, iterate over each character in a string, process tuples, or use ranges. The basic syntax starts with the keyword 'for', followed by a variable name, then 'in', and finally the sequence you want to iterate over. The code block that follows will be executed once for each item in the sequence. The range function is one of the most useful tools when working with for loops in Python. It generates a sequence of numbers that you can iterate over. Range has three different forms: range with just a stop value starts from zero and goes up to but not including the stop value. Range with start and stop parameters lets you specify both the beginning and end. Range with start, stop, and step allows you to control the increment between numbers, and you can even use negative steps to count backwards. While loops are different from for loops because they continue executing as long as a specified condition remains true. They're particularly useful when you don't know in advance how many times you need to repeat something. The key components are the condition that gets checked before each iteration, and importantly, you must update the variables in the condition within the loop body to eventually make the condition false, otherwise you'll create an infinite loop. Nested loops are loops placed inside other loops. This creates a powerful structure where the inner loop completes all of its iterations for each single iteration of the outer loop. For example, if the outer loop runs 3 times and the inner loop runs 4 times, the inner loop's code will execute a total of 12 times. Nested loops are commonly used for processing two-dimensional data like matrices, creating patterns, or when you need to compare every item with every other item. Loop control statements give you more precise control over loop execution. The break statement immediately exits the current loop, which is useful when you've found what you're looking for or met a specific condition. The continue statement skips the rest of the current iteration and moves directly to the next one, which is helpful when you want to ignore certain values. In nested loops, these statements only affect the innermost loop where they appear, not the outer loops.
