This document discusses loops in Python. It begins by explaining why loops are useful, such as for payroll processing to calculate salaries and bonuses for multiple employees. It then defines loops as allowing code to execute repeatedly based on conditional statements. The document outlines the main types of loops in Python - while loops, for loops, and nested loops. While loops iterate until a condition is false, for loops iterate a specified number of times, and nested loops involve loops within other loops. Examples are provided for each loop type, such as a guessing game to demonstrate a while loop and calculating factorials with a for loop.
