import - Used to import Python packages and module, which allow for funtionality beyong what is offered by standard Python. Imports are traditionally handled at the beginning of a Python file. Example: import os

print - Prints text to the console Example: print("Hello, world!")

For Loop

A for loop repeats an action for every item in a set. For example, a for loop may print the value of each object in a list, no matter the length of the list.

example_list = ['d', 'a', 's', '4', 2, 'done!']

for item in example_list:
	print(item)

Result:

d
a
s
4
2
done!

While Loop

A while loop continues to perform an action while a defined condition is true.

i = 0

while i < 5:
	print(i)
	i = i + 1

Result:

0
1
2
3
4
