why we use mostly while loop instead of for loop in python

Answer 1

@donkeyhot

while arduino_pin_current < max_current:

?

Answer 2

Edit1: While loop is used when we stop looping on some condition or in an infinite while: True loop. In other cases use for loop:

i = 0
while i<10: #C-style
#do smth
i += 1

for i in range(10): #pythonic
#do smth

Answer 3

And if you're talking about the most guys here, that use while loops mostly. That's only because they are just learning basics of python and write their programs
C-style. Don't be like them. Be smart. Use for loops and other python possibilities.

Answer 4

@Kirk Schafer

for arduino_pin_current in range(maxcurrent):
pass

Ok, i get it. You're right. While loop is also used when we stop looping on some condition. I just meant for is more common.
