What are loops?



They can be termed simply as a way to repeatedly execute some code➿.


For example:



planets= ['mercury','venus','earth','mars','jupyter','saturn','uranus','neptune']
for planet in planets:
print(planet,end='')

# The end='' overrides the \n behavior and instead adds a space ('') after each planet name

output: Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune


The for loop specifies:


The variable names to use in this case, ‘planet’

The set of values to loop over ‘planets’

You use the word ‘in’ to link …
