"else statement also be used after for loop, it is executed after for loop", but why it could be needed? Just put some code after the for loop do the job, nop?
The 'else' is used if the loop completes successfully, so if the loop ends early, such as by using a 'break' statement, the 'else' won't run. It's just an easier way to run code if and only if the loop finishes successfully without needing to use a flag variable to detect whether the loop finishes.
With flag:
flag = True
for i in range(10):
if i == 8:
flag = False
if flag:
print('Loop completed') # won't print, since flag is False
With 'else':
for i in range(10):
if i == 8:
break
else:
print('Loop completed') # won't print since the loop ended early
In both cases, the text won't print, since the loop didn't complete. However, if the loops did complete, then the text would print.
Hi, thanks for sharing :)

Hi, you're welcome.
else: after for loop confirms the for loop is finished, not confirms the exit of the loop.
else: does not be executed when it is exited by 'break' statement.

Hi, well thank a ton! :)
