The document discusses loops in Python, explaining their importance in automating repetitive tasks and enhancing code efficiency. It outlines the types of loops available in Python, including for loops, while loops, and nested loops, along with their syntax and examples. Best practices and common mistakes related to loops are also provided to help programmers write clean and effective code.

3. What are Loops?
• • Loops are control flow statements that
repeat a block of code.
• • They continue until a specified condition is
met or a sequence is exhausted.
• • Essential for automating repetitive tasks.

4. Why are Loops Important?
• • Eliminate code redundancy by automating
repetition.
• • Increase efficiency and readability of
programs.
• • Useful in handling large datasets, performing
calculations, and more.

5. Types of Loops in Python
• 1. For Loop
• - Iterates over items of a sequence (list,
tuple, etc.).
• 2. While Loop
• - Repeats as long as a condition evaluates to
True.
• 3. Nested Loops
• - Loops inside another loop.

6. For Loop Syntax and Example
• Syntax:
• for item in sequence:
• # code block
• Example:
• fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
• for fruit in fruits:
• print(fruit)

7. While Loop Syntax and Example
• Syntax:
• while condition:
• # code block
• Example:
• count = 0
• while count < 5:
• print(count)
• count += 1

8. Nested Loops
• • A loop inside another loop.
• • Useful for iterating over multi-dimensional
data.
• Example:
• matrix = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
• for row in matrix:
• for element in row:
• print(element)

9. Best Practices and Common
Mistakes
• Best Practices:
• • Use descriptive variable names.
• • Avoid infinite loops by ensuring conditions
change.
• • Minimize nesting to improve readability.
• Common Mistakes:
• • Forgetting to update variables in while loops.
• • Misusing break/continue statements.

10. Summary
• • Loops are essential for efficient
programming.
• • Python provides For, While, and Nested
loops.
• • Follow best practices to write clean and bug-
free code.
