View source for Python Loop Code Segment

A [[Python Loop Code Segment]] is a [[loop code segment]] that is a [[Python code segment]] (with a [[Python loop statement]]).
* <B>AKA:</B> [[Python Iteration Block]], [[Python Loop Structure]], [[Python Iteration Segment]].
* <B>Context:</B>
** It can typically iterate [[Python Sequence]] through [[python iteration syntax]].
** It can typically process [[Python Collection]] through [[python loop variable]]s.
** It can typically control [[Loop Flow]] through [[python control statement]]s.
** ...
** It can often use [[Python Range Function]] for [[numeric iteration]].
** It can often employ [[Python Enumerate Function]] for [[indexed iteration]].
** It can often utilize [[Python List Comprehension]] for [[compact iteration]].
** ...
** It can range from being a [[Simple Python Iterator]] to being a [[Complex Python Loop Structure]], depending on its [[iteration complexity]].
** It can range from being a [[Basic Python For Loop]] to being a [[Nested Python Loop]], depending on its [[nesting depth]].
** It can range from being a [[Python Loop Fragment]] to being a [[Python Loop Block]], depending on its [[implementation completeness]].
** ...
* <B>Example(s):</B>
** [[Python For Loop Structure]]s, such as:
*** a [[Python for Loop Code Segment]] for [[sequence iteration]].
*** a [[Python foreach Loop Code Segment]] for [[element iteration]].
*** a [[Python Dictionary Loop Code Segment]] for [[key-value iteration]].
** [[Python While Loop Structure]]s, such as:
*** a [[Python while Loop Code Segment]] for [[condition-based iteration]].
*** a [[Python infinite Loop Code Segment]] for [[continuous execution]].
*** a [[Python sentinel Loop Code Segment]] for [[termination-controlled iteration]].
** [[Python Loop Control Structure]]s, such as:
*** a [[Python break Statement Segment]] for [[loop termination]].
*** a [[Python continue Statement Segment]] for [[iteration skip]].
*** a [[Python else Loop Segment]] for [[completion handling]].
** ...
* <B>Counter-Example(s):</B>
** a [[Perl Loop Code Segment]], which uses [[perl loop syntax]] instead of [[python loop syntax]].
** a [[Java Loop Code Segment]], which requires [[explicit type declaration]]s.
** a [[C++ Loop Code Segment]], which uses [[different iterator syntax]].
