The statements that are used to repeat a set of instructions are called iterative or looping
statements.
Python provides two types of looping statements—for and while.
The for statement executes a simple or compound statement for a fixed number of times.
The range( ) function is an in-built function of Python.
A sequence is a succession of values bound together by a single name.
The while statement executes a set of statements repeatedly, until the logical expression
evaluates to true.
To come out of the infinite loop, we can either close the program window or press Ctrl + C.
The else block is executed when the condition given in the while statement becomes false.
The break is a keyword in Python which is used for bringing the program control out of the loop.
When a continue statement is encountered inside a loop, control of the program jumps to the
beginning of the loop for next iteration, skipping the execution of rest of the statements of the loop.
