In Python, loops are used to execute a block of code repeatedly until a certain condition is met. Python supports two main types of loops: for loops and while loops.
1. for loops:
for loops are used for iterating over a sequence (such as lists, tuples, dictionaries, strings, etc.) and executing the block of code for each element in the sequence.
2. while loops:
while loops are used to execute a block of code as long as a specified condition is true.
Loop Control Statements:
Python also provides loop control statements to alter the execution of loops:
breakterminates the loop and transfers control to the statement immediately following the loop.continueskips the rest of the code inside the loop for the current iteration and proceeds to the next iteration.pass: Acts as a null operation. It is a placeholder indicating that no action needs to be taken.
