Python for loops
Python for loops repeat an operation across a collection of items. They connect the idea of a list to the work you want to do with its contents.

Adding several quantities or preparing a message for each task involves a repeated pattern. A loop expresses that pattern without treating each item as a separate problem.
Repeated work follows the collection
A for loop expresses work for each item in a sequence or another iterable. A collection of saved notes might need a label displayed for every note. The repeated action stays similar even though the note being considered changes each time.
The size of the collection can vary without changing the purpose of the loop. An empty collection has no items to process, while a longer collection has more. This connects repetition to the information available rather than to a fixed amount of copied work.
