Sometimes, you need to repeat a task multiple time or you may need to repeat the task either a
certain number of times or until a condition is satisfied. In Python, the statements that are used to
repeat a set of instructions are called iterative or looping statements. Looping statements are very
useful and necessary for developing applications.
Python provides two types of looping statements—for and while. The for statement is used to repeat
an instruction or a set of instructions a fixed number of times. Whereas, the while statement is used
to repeat a set of instructions until a condition evaluates to true. Let’s discuss these constructs in
brief.
