            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.
                                                                                                     for each item
                THE FOR STATEMENT                                                                    in sequence

            The for statement executes a simple or compound statement for                       Last item    True
                                                                                                reached?
            a fixed number of times. The syntax of the for statement is given
            below:
