This post explains how to use loops in Python. You'll learn FOR loops, WHILE loops, BREAK, CONTINUE and more. A crucial skill for coding!

First, you can’t just transport straight C for loops into Python. There has to be some concession to Python syntax. The initial attempt was clever but not clever enough.

Any construct which deals with iterators will be prepared for this, like the for loop in our example. When this is run, it correctly stops at the appropriate point. $ python iterator_test.py 463 ...
