Q

What is a for loop and how is it different from a while loop? When should you use one over the other

A

A for loop is another method of iterating. Instead of doing something while something is true like while loops
while expression:
do something

for loops are like this instead:
for item in iterable:
do something

where iterable is an iterable object. You should use a while loop if you don’t know how many times you want the loop to run. You should use a for loop is you know how many times u want the loop to be ran. However all while loops can be written as for loops vise versa.

name = "Sodaba"
for i in name:
    print(i)
S
o
d
a
b
a 
 you can avoid the long ass output by putting end=" " after printing i

print(i, end=” “)
S o d a b a
