Hello and welcome to this video.

2
00:00:02,820 --> 00:00:08,660
In this video I'm going to introduce you to four loops.

3
00:00:08,670 --> 00:00:18,450
What is a for loop for loop is a type of loop that is used to iterate over a sequence so it will go

4
00:00:18,570 --> 00:00:23,500
through a sequence of items of values.

5
00:00:23,580 --> 00:00:31,790
This sequence is usually things like a list a tuple a dictionary is set or a string.

6
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:38,230
So he has to be a collection that the for loop can loop or iterate through.

7
00:00:38,490 --> 00:00:44,840
The loop does not require an indexing variable in order to get initiated.

8
00:00:44,850 --> 00:00:52,200
Just like with a while loop with a while loop in need to have an initial indexing variable for it to

9
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:52,980
work with.

10
00:00:53,130 --> 00:00:55,620
You don't need that with a for loop.

11
00:00:55,620 --> 00:01:07,560
Also a for loop can use a break and a continue statement so you can use two statements with a for loop.

12
00:01:07,860 --> 00:01:10,980
So let me show you how a for loop works.

13
00:01:10,980 --> 00:01:18,600
I'm going to create a variable which is going to be a list A list is basically a collection of items

14
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:19,500
of values.

15
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,490
So I'm gonna create a variable and we'll call it fruits.

16
00:01:23,630 --> 00:01:27,630
And I'm going to set that to a course to a list.

17
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:32,610
And inside that list I'm going to add some items.

18
00:01:32,610 --> 00:01:40,030
First item is going to be grapes I'm going to add a couple more.

19
00:01:40,030 --> 00:01:46,410
Next I'm going to add berries and I'll do one more.

20
00:01:46,750 --> 00:01:55,920
And finally I'm going to add oranges so I have now created my list.

21
00:01:55,970 --> 00:02:05,270
So now I need to use a for loop to loop through the items in the loop in the list and print them out

22
00:02:05,630 --> 00:02:07,040
in my console.

23
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:13,070
So to do that you need the four key word type you for.

24
00:02:13,490 --> 00:02:17,680
And I'm going to just use a random ETA.

25
00:02:17,810 --> 00:02:25,190
So I'm gonna say x so x basically is going to represent each item or each value in the list.

26
00:02:25,250 --> 00:02:37,140
I'm gonna say for x in the variable called fruits want to add my colon and tab and I'm going to tell

27
00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:39,550
it to print x.

28
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:48,360
And what does count do is going to print each item in my list on the screen.

29
00:02:48,750 --> 00:02:53,270
So let me press the play button so you can see the output.

30
00:02:53,340 --> 00:03:03,960
Click play and you can see here in the list you can see it has printed the items I've got grapes I've

31
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,770
got berries I've got oranges so you got grapes berries and oranges.

32
00:03:07,770 --> 00:03:15,090
So that's what a for loop does it iterate over a collection of item or a list and then it does what

33
00:03:15,090 --> 00:03:16,480
you tell it to do online.

34
00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:25,890
For here I've told you to print the item so x here represent each of the items in the list.

35
00:03:26,010 --> 00:03:29,220
So that's how for loop works.

36
00:03:29,220 --> 00:03:30,600
Thanks for watching.

37
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:31,330
Bye for now.
