The Art and Craft of Programming -- Loops. Loops are used to repeatedly execute some code. The most basic loop structure in Python is the while loop, an example of which is: i = 0 while (i < 10): print(i,end="") i = i + 1 We see a while loop looks much like an if statement.

The difference is that blocks belonging to ifs are evaluated at most once whereas blocks associated with loops may be evaluated many many times. As Computer Scientists hate to type extra characters if they can help it, you will often see: i = i + 1 written as i += 1 The latter version is read as "increment i" and saves a whopping two characters of typing. A while loop tests its condition before the body of the loop is executed. I = 10 while (i < 10): print(i,end="") i += 1 never prints out anything since the test immediately fails. I = 0; while (i < 10): print(i,end="") i += 1 the loop prints out the digits 0 through 9: A while loop repeatedly evaluates its body as long as the loop condition remains true. To write an infinite loop, use True as the condition: Other loops.
