For next loop

This type of loop checks for a condition and repeats the instructions inside the loop until the condition is met:

for <incremental variable> in final value:  statements

Here's an example of printing numbers from 1 to 10 in a for loop:

As we can see, we use a built-in range(starting value, max value) function, which specifies the loop to repeat from the starting value until the incremental value reaches the maximum value. In this case, the variable x is incremented by 1 and in each loop, the value is printed out. This is repeated until the value of x reaches 10, where the for loop terminates.

In a similar way, we can also iterate ...
