Using for loops in Python?

[jakey]

Hello eveyone!

I'm still trying to learn Python3 and i am making progress albeit slowly lol.

I have been trying to learn about 'for loops' but for some reason i can't get them to work the way i want.
So here's an example of a for loop i have been trying to execute.

# I open a terminal and type python3 then:
>>> word = "elephant"
>>> for letter in word:
...          print (letter)
...

Could anyone tell me why the above code work doesn't work?

Works fine for me. You should use a code editor such as vscodium or the like. Will make things easier for you.
Some editors that you can choose. I use vscodium.
vscodium
notepad++
pycharm
spyder

It's probably an indentation error. Did you encounter something like "indentation doesn't match" when trying to run that code? That could be the problem. Your indentation have to be consistent.
