What is iteration in python?

Answer 1

A google search gave me this:

"Iteration is a general term for taking each item of something, one after another. Any time you use a loop, explicit or implicit, to go over a group of items, that is iteration. InPython, iterable and iterator have specific meanings. ... So an iterable is an object that you can get an iterator from."

What is... questions are good candidates for a google search.

Answer 5

Iteration basically means doing something repeatedly.
In Python, for example,:

for number in [1, 1, 2, 3, 5]:
print('foo '*number)

Here we 'iterate' over the array (which is known as an iterable by the way) and for each value, we print out 'foo' that many times.

Hope this made sense :)
