-Creating a linear array:\\

+\textbf{loops}
+
+To iterate over a sequence: \lstinline|for i in sequence:|\\
+\texttt{i} is the looping variable. 
+
+To iterate while a condition is true: \lstinline|while condition:|
 
-Plotting two variables:\\
-{\ex \lstinline|    plot(x, sin(x))|}
+Blocks in python are indented. To end block return to the previous
+indentation. 
+
+To break out of the innermost loop: \lstinline|break|
 
-Plotting two lists of equal length x, y:\\
-{\ex \lstinline|    plot(x, y)|}
+To skip to end of current iteration: \lstinline|continue|
+
+\lstinline|pass| is just a syntactic filler.
