Loops in Programming: Repeating with For and While

September 14, 2024

Welcome back to our programming tutorial series! Today, we’ll be exploring loops, an essential concept in programming that allows you to repeat a block of code multiple times. Loops enable you to handle repetitive tasks efficiently, making your code more compact and powerful.

What Are Loops? #

Loops are control structures that let you execute a block of code repeatedly, either for a specified number of times or until a particular condition is met. In Python, the two most commonly used loops are for and while loops.

Understanding Matrix Multiplication: Why We Need Nested Loops #

Preface: Addressing Talha’s Question #

Recently, one of our community members, Talha, reached out with an interesting question about matrix multiplication. Talha was working on Day 5 of our coding challenge, which involves matrix multiplication, and found themselves stuck. Their specific question was:

“Why do we need nested for loops for multiplication?”

This is an excellent question, Talha, and it touches on a fundamental aspect of working with matrices in programming. Let’s break this down step by step to really understand what’s going on.
