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)

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!
