If i put it simply,
So the number of times that loop will iterate is the iteration.
For example -
for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
{
cout<<"hello"<<endl;
}
In the above code ,"hello" would print 5 times.
"hello" will ITERATE 5 times.

Itereation means the same thing in every language. It's to take an object like a list or a tuple (an object that has more than one value) and go through those values.
A string can be considered an iterable. Because you can go through and select each induvidual value. An example of string iteration:
for letter in "ABC":
print(letter)
# output
A
B
C
Iteration means repetition of required statement... for example u want print hi 10 times its very hard to always write print statement instead u can write only one or two statements by which we can print hi 10 times...
Iteration can be done by using for, while loop statements
Iterations isn't a python terminology, but a mathematical/computational idea. Iteration means do the something thing (processing/computation) for a set of values. To achieve this, they need to be ordered or retrieved in such way all elements of it will be work out only one time. In Python, we have a generic way to iterate, as follows
for ELEMENT in COLLECTION:
... do things ...
it's valuable to note that Python works over the notion of iterator for iterations. What decides which value will come and its order/sequentiality it's the iterator. some objects outputs values in a different order they are added to the object (e.g. set class). more important in this case is to observe that any object becomes iterable in a statement 'for ... in' if it's defined to it (i.e., a class definition) to dunder __iter__. In short, the object itself can be a iterator if __next__ is applied (coherently) for it.
note: iteration != interaction (for non native English speakers)
