Hi there,

I'm a complete beginner to Python and, aside from HTML and CSS, to coding in 
general. I've spent a few hours on it and think I understand most of the syntax.

However, I'm wondering a bit about For Loops. I know that the basic syntax for 
them is to define a list, and then to use something like:

for x in y

However, what does "for" and "in" mean in this context? Can anyone help me to 
understand this? I know it's a really basic question, but hopefully it will see me on my way to 
coding properly :)

Thanks a lot.

y is some list ["help","beginner","question"]

for x in y:
        if x=="question": print "FOUND"


Clear?

Cheers.
