# WEBINAR: For Loops
# We use loops to repeat actions

# a WHILE loop... btw.. is basically an IF statement
# that repeats as long as its condition is true

# FOR LOOPS are used for repeating actions for every element
# in a container like a list, string, tuple, etc...

myList = ["Agent Scully", "Agent Mulder", "Walter Skinner", "CSM", "Mr. X"] # X-Files characters
for item in myList:
    print(item)
myTuple = ("Gilligan", "Castaway002", "red", "crew")
for item in myTuple:
    print(item)
myString = "Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale."
for char in myString:
    print(char, end=" ") # take this into account
print() # print(end="\n")
print("And the next call")

scoobiesDCT = {
    "Scooby": "a blue collar",
    "Shaggy": "green",
    "Velma": "orange",
    "Daphne": "purple",
    "Fred": "an ascot"
}
# nameOfDict[key] # retrieves the value for that key
# nameOfDict[key] = value # whether that key/value pair were there before or not
for key in scoobiesDCT:

for n in range(0, 10): # range() creates a list-like container of a series of numbers
    print(n)

for i in range(len(myList)):
    # print(i)
    # item = myList[i]
    print("{} - {}".format(i, myList[i]))
