📝 Module Overview

In this module, you'll learn how to automate repetitive tasks in Python by using loops. You'll explore different types of loops, control flow mechanisms, and learn techniques to handle iterations efficiently.

🧩 Topics Covered

1. Introduction to Loops 🎢

• Why Use Loops?: Explore the necessity and advantages of using loops in programming.
• Types of Loops in Python: Introduction to for and while loops, two essential tools for iteration in Python.

2. The for Loop 🔁

• Using range() with for Loops: Learn how to iterate over a range of numbers using the range() function.
• Iterating Over Sequences: Master iterating over various sequences such as lists, tuples, and strings.
• Using _ to Ignore Values: Understand how to use the underscore (_) variable to ignore values during iterations.

3. The while Loop ↩️

• Basic Usage: Learn how to use the while loop to execute a block of code repeatedly as long as a given condition is True.
• Conditional Looping: Implement loops based on conditions that allow dynamic repetition based on your program's state.

4. break, continue, and else Statements 🚦

• Using break: Learn how to exit a loop prematurely using the break statement.
• Using continue: Understand how to skip the current iteration and continue with the next using continue.
• The else Clause in Loops: Explore the optional else clause in loops, executed when the loop finishes without encountering a break.

5. Looping Techniques 🛠️

• Basic Syntax: Grasp the basic syntax of both for and while loops.
• Loop Control Flow: Learn how loops fit into the overall control flow of a program.
• Optimizing Loop Performance: Best practices for writing efficient loops, avoiding performance pitfalls.

6. Nested Loops 🍱

• Using Loops Within Loops: Explore the use of nested loops for solving more complex problems.
• Avoiding Infinite Loops: Techniques to ensure your loops terminate appropriately, avoiding infinite execution.
