They keep repeating themselves until a certain condition is metwhile True:    answer = input("What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?")    if answer == "African or European?":        break   # 3. range() with for loop is perfect for counting dead parrots. It's a straightforward way of iterating a fixed number of times, for when Mr Death, or the plague, comes knocking <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="⚰️" title="Coffin    :coffin:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/26b0.png" data-shortname=":coffin:" />for i in range(10):    print("This parrot is no more!

Recursion is a creative way to loop, like going down the proverbial rabbit hole.
