In the following example, we loop through a list of numbers, and use the variable digit to hold each number in turn: Strings in Python are considered “sequences” — they can be iterated over ...

This post explains how to use loops in Python. You'll learn FOR loops, WHILE loops, BREAK, CONTINUE and more. A crucial skill for coding!

This algorithm would allow five numbers to be inputted and would work out the total. A count-controlled loop would be used because it is known, in advance, how many times the algorithm needs to loop.
