Answer 1

Hi Joan
Please specify which language so we may direct you to a relevant tutorial.

Essentially, a for loop will iterate a preset number of times, and process the code / statement that is nested within the loop.

Unfortunately, the previous statement does not help if you don't have a basic understanding of for loop

Answer 2

name: "solo"
for i in name:
Print(i)

It is a simple example of how for loop works. You don't have to declare 'i' , it's just used for iteration.
