Answer 1

so what exactly is your question about it

Answer 2

As an exercise, write a loop that traverses the previous list and prints the length of each element.?

Answer 3

so what your looking for is a nested loop which is a loop within a loop?

Answer 4

Yup

Answer 5

```
##calculates minimum fixed monthly payment needed in order to pay off credit card balance within 12 months
outstanding_Balance = float(raw_input("Outstanding Balance on Credit Card:"))
annual_Interest_Rate = float(raw_input("Annual Interest Rate:"))
monthly_Interest_Rate = annual_Interest_Rate / 12.0
monthly_Payment = 0
current_Balance = outstanding_Balance
## while balance not paid off
while current_Balance > 0:
months = 0
monthly_Payment += 10
while current_Balance > 0 and months < 12:
months += 1
current_Balance = current_Balance * (1 + monthly_Interest_Rate) - monthly_Payment
## if balance is paid off, end loop
if current_Balance <= 0:
print "RESULT:"
print "Monthly payment to pay off debt in 1 year:",monthly_Payment
print "Number of months needed:",months
print "Balance:",round(current_Balance, 2)
```

if you are using python this would be an example of a small program that I recenntly wrote for calculating compound interest. If you look at the first loop it is a while loop that loops the current balance. Then there is another loop 3 lines under it then loops current balance and month this is an example of a nested loop!

Answer 6

this was not the answer to my question...

Answer 7

I gave you an example of a nested loop.
The information you gave me isnt sufficient enough for me to give you a anything better.
You need to give me more information about what exactly is in this loop you want to write.
