For

The flowchart of a for is like it follows:

This is the basic structure:

val is a certain value or ‘conditional’

Here is one example

Important information about for´s:

  • The for statement in Python has the ability to iterate over the items of any sequence, such as a list or a string.
  • If a sequence contains an expression list, it is evaluated first. Then, the first item in the sequence is assigned to the iterating variable iterating_var. Next, the statements block is executed. Each item in the list is assigned to iterating_var, and the statement(s) block is executed until the entire sequence is exhausted.

Fruit-Loops

--Originally published at 101 For Tec

Loops are very used in daily life, and I´m not talking about food, i´m talking about programming. But you may ask what is a loop. A loop according to the Merriam Webster is “a series of instructions (as for a computer) that is repeated until a terminating condition is reached”.

Loops depend of a condition, this is a boolean, a boolean is a value that can be either false or true, for more information of Basic Operators, you can go here

In python we have two types of loops and one conditional:

  1. If else
  2. For
  3. While

Now…what is the structure of a loop? It is the following

loop-statement

And…what about the ‘if/else’ conditional? Is this

conditional

In the following posts Rodrigo Merino and I will explain you more about this
