Loops Recap

In this chapter, we learned how to work with loops in Python. We found out that:

We use loops when we need to repeat a part of the code.

1. The while loop allows us to repeatedly execute a block of code as long as the condition is true.
2. The for loop allows us to iterate over an array and execute a block of code for each element of the array.
3. The break statement terminates the loop prematurely.
4. The continue statement skips the current iteration and proceeds to the next iteration.
5. We can use break and continue statements for both while and for loops.
6. We generally use the while loop when we don't know how many times it will need to repeat, and the for loop when we know how many times it will need to repeat.
7. We can iterate through characters in a string using either a for loop or a while loop.
8. Loops can be nested, which means one loop can be inside another. This is useful when working with multiple arrays or nested arrays.

Congratulations on completing the lesson on loops! In the next lesson, we will look at functions. They will help us write more efficient and readable code, which is essential for solving more complex problems.
