 What is a loop
● In computer programming, a loop is a way to execute a block of code repeatedly

until a certain condition is met. Loops are used to automate repetitive tasks or to

iterate over a collection of data to perform a specific operation.

● Loops can be terminated prematurely using break statement

● A for loop is used to iterate over a sequence of data, such as a list, tuple,

string, or dictionary. The loop variable takes on each value in the sequence in

turn, and the block of code within the loop is executed for each value.
 Loops in real world
● In production chains.

● Traffic lights

● Autopilot system

● Analysis of financial data

 range() Function
● In Python, the range function is used to generate a sequence of numbers.

● Mostly used together with loops to control loop iterations

● Syntax : range(start, stop, step)

 Nesting Loops
● Nesting loops refers to the practice of placing one loop inside another

loop. This means that the inner loop will be executed multiple times for

each iteration of the outer loop.

● Is a very powerful concept, Also can be computationally

intensive/expensive

● Can increase the complexity of the code

● Better to optimize (ie. minimizing iterations)
