loops in Python language
- A loop statement allows us to execute a statement or group of statements multiple times.
- You may encounter situations, when a block of code needs to be executed several number of times. In general, statements are executed sequentially: The first statement in a function is executed first, followed by the second, and so on.

Python programming language provides the following types of loops to handle looping requirements.
- while loops
- for loops
- Nested loops

Python supports the following control statements.
