# For Loops

## For Loops

### Iterate through code like `lists`, `tuple`, `dictionary`:

```python
# Itterate though a list
farm_animals = ['goat', 'horse', 'chicken', 'cow', 'dog']

# The 'animal' variable is defined in for loop:
for animal in farm_animals:
	
	print(animal) # Will print each element in the list
	
	sentence = animal + " is safe in our farm"
	print(sentence) # Will print the sentence which each animal in list
	
	print('hello world') # This will run as many times as items in the list
```

{% hint style="info" %}
`Note:` This runs exactly the same way with `tuple`
{% endhint %}

### Iterating through `string`:

```python
greeting = "hello my name is tim"

for char in greeting:
	print(char) # prints each character separately
	
# End this look once we come accros the letter "N":
for char in greeting:
	if char == "n":
		break # If you want to move to next part of code but "break" out of the loop
	print(char) 
```

**The "break" argument is used to get out of a loop early and move on to the next part of the code that you are running**

**The "exit" argument is used to stop the code completely**

**The "continue" argument prevents the next lines of code in the loop to run but restarts the loop:**

```python
for char in greeting:
	if char == "n":
		continue
	print(char) # Will not print the n character but will print the rest after encountering "n"
```
