I have been trying to get into programming for awhile but can't seem to get my head around it, could someone please explain what iteration means?
If any helps i'm using Python.

Pretty much just means a loop.
In programming your main loops are For loops, do while loops, and do until. The wording/syntax will be slightly different with each language but [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] is some info on loops in python.

Just in case he doesn't know what a loop is... It means something that repeats. So if you wanted something to run on a timer, it would loop until the timer is stopped.

Some examples with Python:
"i" is the iterating variable or iterator for the for loop. When used with a string, the loop will iterate through the string one character at a time. For each iteration, the contents of the loop will be executed with the iterating variable "i". This will print each character of the string to a line.
Loop without an iterator. The number of iterations depends on the condition set for the loop.
shittyString = "Use meaningful names for variables. Variable name must define the exact explanation of its content."
for i in shittyString:
print(i) "i" is the iterating variable or iterator for the for loop. When used with a string, the loop will iterate through the string one character at a time. For each iteration, the contents of the loop will be executed with the iterating variable "i". This will print each character of the string to a line.
shittyInt = 10
while shittyInt > 0:
shittyInt -= 1
# Code here is iterated until the condition for the while loop is met Loop without an iterator. The number of iterations depends on the condition set for the loop.
