Python Nested Loops Explained for Beginners (With Simple Examples)
Python Nested Loops Explained for Beginners (With Simple Examples) Python Nested Loops Explained for Beginners (With Simple Examples) Introduction In the previous post, we learned about break, continue, and pass . Now let's move forward and understand Nested Loops . Nested loops are used when we need to repeat a task inside another repetition. Simply put — a loop inside another loop . --- What is a Nested Loop? A nested loop is a loop placed inside another loop. The inner loop runs completely every time the outer loop runs once. Outer Loop → Controls main repetition Inner Loop → Runs fully for each outer loop cycle --- Basic Example for i in range(3): # Outer loop for j in range(2): # Inner loop print("i =", i, "j =", j) Here: Outer loop runs 3 times Inner loop runs 2 times each time Total execution = 3 × 2 = 6 times --- Understanding the Flow When i = 0 → j runs 0,1 When i = 1 → j runs 0,1 ...
