Looping through items

Use a for loop to process each list item.

Visit every item

A for loop takes items from a list in order. The variable after for holds the current item. Indent the instructions that should repeat.

names = ["Ada", "Mina"]
for name in names:
    print(name)

Output

Ada
Mina

Work inside and after a loop

Indented lines run for each item. A line aligned with for runs after the loop finishes.

items = ["tea", "bread"]
for item in items:
    print(item.upper())
print("Done")

Output

TEA
BREAD
Done

Looping through items

  1. Follow one loop iteration at a time.
  2. Check which lines are inside the loop.
