Microsoft Reactor

For our first month in the Code Garden, Renee will be playing with Python basics. She'll talk you through everything you need to know to get started on your Python journey!

In Week 1 she'll be working with variables, strings and integers.
In week 2 she'll play making decisions in Python using if statements.
In week 3 she'll take on looping, and show you how to make your code repeat itself to get more done!

In this episode we'll cover how to use loops to make your code repeat in Python. We'll take a look at how for loops can be used to have part of our code run a particular number of times, or for each letter in a word the user enters.
