Iteration in Python

Iteration is commonly used in Python to repeat code a certain number of times, or until some condition is met. In Python there are for and while loops, and a syntax known as comprehension for making lists, sets and dictionaries. We also touch on functional approaches to iteration, and some advanced topics on breaking out of deeply nested loops, and using linear algebra to avoid some loops.
