Evaluate the condition, yielding True or False.
If the condition is false, exit the while statement and continue execution at the next statement.
If the condition is true, execute the body and then go back to step 1.
This type of flow is called a loop because the third step loops back around to the top.
We call each time we execute the body of the loop an iteration.
The body of the loop should change the value of one or more variables so that eventually the condition becomes false and the loop terminates.
If the loop repeats forever, it results in an infinite loop.
n = 10
while True:
print(n)
n = n - 1
print('Done!')
What will happen if you run this?
Ctrl+C to terminate it.
Finishing iterations with break
while True:

Finishing iterations with continue
while True:

continue
if line == 'done':
break
print(line)

Done!
We call the while statement an indefinite loop because it simply loops until some condition becomes False, whereas the for loop is looping through a known set of items so it runs through as many iterations as there are items in the set.
In particular, friend is the iteration variable for the for loop. The variable friend changes for each iteration of the loop and controls when the for loop completes. The iteration variable steps successively through the three strings stored in the friends variable.
The concept of looping is important because it is one of the most common ways a computer automates repetitive tasks.
The indentation errors are common.
Python uses indentation to determine when one line of code is connected to the line above it. Some languages require the "end" statement.
Always indent the line after the for statement in a loop.
friends = ['Joseph', 'Glenn', 'Sally']
for x in friends:
print('Happy New Year:', x)
print('Done!')
IndentationError: expected an indented block
message = "Hello Python world!"
print(message)
IndentationError: unexpected indent
Forgetting to indent additional lines (logical error)

How to calculate 1+2+...+100?
First, we need to generate a series of numbers in a list.
for value in range(1,4):
print(value)
1
2
3
>>> list(range(1,6))
#list() creates an empty list.
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> list(range(6))
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> list(range(1, 10, 2))
# make a list of odd numbers
[1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
>>> list(range(10, 1, -2))
[10, 8, 6, 4, 2]
1+2+3+...+100
total=0
for value in range(1,101):
total=value+total
