Anatomy of a Python Loop

- Python loops allow repeating actions multiple times.
- There are two main types of loops: `for` loops and `while` loops.
- `for` loops are used when the number of repetitions is known (e.g., rolling 3d6).
- `while` loops continue until a condition is met (e.g., rolling until a natural 20).
- The `continue` statement skips the rest of the current loop iteration.
- Example: Ignoring 1s in dice rolls using `continue`.
- Best practices include avoiding nested loops and using `break` for early exits.
- Loops are essential for handling repetitive tasks in programming.
