Control Flow

1.for

>>> # Measure some strings:
... words = ['cat', 'window', 'defenestrate']
>>> for w in words:
...     print(w, len(w))
...
cat 3
window 6
defenestrate 12

2.Range()
If you do need to iterate over a sequence of numbers, the built-in function range() comes in handy. It generates arithmetic progressions

>>> for i in range(5):
...     print(i)
...
0
1
2
3
4

3.break, continue, else
The break statement, like in C, breaks out of the innermost enclosing for or while loop.
Loop statements may have an else clause; it is executed when the loop terminates through exhaustion of the list (with for) or when the condition becomes false (with while), but not when the loop is terminated by a brea
