Distinguish between step loop and continuous loops.

Question

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

The differences between step loop and continuous loop are: | Continuous Loop | Step Loop | | --------------- | --------- | | The control variable is updated (increased or decreased) only by 1 (one) after each iteration. | The control variable is updated by a given value (other than one) after each iteration. | | The loop terminates when the control variable reaches the last limit. | The loop terminates when the value of the control variable reaches or exceeds the last limit of the range. | | Example: `for n in range(1, 11):` | Example: `for n in range(1, 20, 2):` |

Continuous Loop	Step Loop
The control variable is updated (increased or decreased) only by 1 (one) after each iteration.	The control variable is updated by a given value (other than one) after each iteration.
The loop terminates when the control variable reaches the last limit.	The loop terminates when the value of the control variable reaches or exceeds the last limit of the range.
