# Pass Statement in For Loops

## Pass Statement in For Loops

* Is used to skip loops or structures that require later completion of code
  * Example: you need to write the loop next week and you need a place holder for that

```python
my_list = ['computer', 'car', 'bottle', 'tv']

for item in my_list: # Will return an indentetion error if empty
	pass # Used of later completion of code

# do other stuff
# do other code
# etc ...
```

#### You can also have the list in the for loop directly:

```python
for item in ['computer', 'car', 'bottle', 'tv']:
	print(item)
```
