Yesterday my father bought me a toy in which if I press a button 4 times, the 139
toy rotates his hands 4 times. Can we do something similar in Python?
Sure we can! Python allows us to repeat a task with the help of iterative
statements. Let us learn about them.
Iterative Statements
The statements that repeatedly execute a set of statements as long as the provided
condition is evaluated to true are called iterative statements. Each repetition of
the statements is called an iteration. Iterative statements are also known as looping
statements or loops. To better understand the looping statements, let us take a
real-life example.
Suppose you run three rounds of your playground everyday, which means you continue
to run in loop until three rounds are completed. Similarly, Python programming allows
us to create loops that continue to execute as long as the loop condition remains true.
Let us understand how loops work.
We have a variable X that stores the number of rounds you have completed. Initially,
X is set to 0. After each round, the value of X increases by 1. Once the value of X
reaches 3, the condition is met, and the loop stops. In this process, the loop will repeat
three times before moving to the next statement after the loop.
