Now, we'll attempt the same task we previously accomplished with the `for` loop—finding a number in the list and terminating the loop once it's located.

**Examine the code below:**

numbers = [2, 3, 4, 11, 5]
i = 0

# Breaking the loop, if 11 is found
while i < len(numbers):
  if numbers[i] == 11:
    print('11 is here!')
    break
  else:
    i = i + 1

Great!

Please be aware that the `continue` statement skips a block of code within the loop for the current iteration only. 
Now, let's count the occurrences of **11**s in the code using `continue`.

**Examine the code below:**

numbers = [2, 11, 4, 11, 5]
i = -1
counter = 0

# Count all 11 in the list
# We are using len(numbers) - 1 to break the loop without being 'out of range'
while i < len(numbers) - 1:
  i = i + 1
  if numbers[i] != 11:
    continue
  else:
    print('11 is here!')
    counter += 1

print("Total number of '11': ", counter)

Python provides three ways for executing the loops. While all the ways provide similar basic functionality, they differ in their syntax and condition checking time. Today we start learning these loops. Welcome to Python Loops Tutorial!

We start learning Python loops with the for loop. A for loop is used for iterating over a sequence. Let's go!

With the while loop, we can execute a set of statements as long as a condition is true. We are going to work with this loop and handle different problems!

A nested loop is a loop inside a loop. Sound difficult? Don't worry! We will handle this loop!
