Answer 1

Jan Markus Got it. It was probably a redundant question on my part but I just wanted to make sure I understand 100%. Thank you, Jan! You guys are awesome!

Answer 2

Jan Markus So lines 6 and 7 (and 16 and 17) will run indefinitely in a loop, until the if condition is met? I.e. like this:

print(a): 0
a += 1: 1
a == 5: False, so loop starts again from the beginning (Line 6).

print(a): 1
a += 1: 2
a == 5: False, so loop starts again from the beginning (Line 6).

print(a): 2
a += 1: 3
a == 5: False, so loop starts again from the beginning (Line 6).

print(a): 3
a += 1: 4
a == 5: False, so loop starts again from the beginning (Line 6).

print(a): 4
a += 1: 5
a == 5: True, so loop breaks.

Is this how loops work?
