1. Using range() (Numbers-a count panradhu)

range() function namba kekkura alavukku numbers-a line-a kodukkum.

# Idhu 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 nu 5 vaati run aagum
for i in range(5):
    print("Dosa number:", i)

Idhoda meaning: range(5) na 0-la irundhu 4 varaikkum oru list. for loop andha list-la ulla mudhal number-a eduthu i (variable) kulla podum. Apram ulla irukka code-a run pannum. Adutha vaati 2nd number edukkum... list mudiyara varaikkum suthum!

2. Looping through strings (Words ulla poradhu)
