In this module, you created an application that prompts users to enter a list of planet names, stores those planet names, and then displays them.

Because you didn't know how many planets users would enter, you used a while loop. You use while loops to run a block of code while a condition remains true.

You stored each planet name in a list.

After the planet list was created, you used a for loop to iterate over it. You use for loops with lists and other iterables, to run code a known number of times, once for each item in the list of planet names.

In this module, you learned how to:

  • Identify when to use either a while loop or a for loop.
  • Use a while loop to run a task multiple times, as long as a certain condition remains true.
  • Use a for loop to iterate over list data.
