Ah, memory lane time again :-)
Oh, you had advanced BASIC - it allowed nested for loops! :-)
My first BASIC only allowed for loops that could be written in a single
line...Anything more complex you had to call a subroutine with GOSUB.
Ha! Yes! As Monte Python would say, "Well..It got

Sweet!
Almost everything is sooo familiar, yet, merged in many interesting ways. I never had a DO WHILE statement, but
in many ways, your further examples are like a combination of my old FOR NEXT loop and IF logical evaluation statement

Oops, so long since I looked at that version...

Tsk, tsk, even in BASIC that's considered bad form :-)
10 FOR X =1 to 10
20 PRINT X
30 NEXT
Would be the better BASIC form.
And as you've seen Python provides a close analog to
that in its for loop.

In Python there is no goto, as you have discovered. Loops

I'm working on Ch. 5, "Fruitful Functions", or "How To Think Like A Computer Scientist" and I still can't count.
(Don't laugh! I can't play the violin either...)
In Basic, I would have said:
10 x = x + 1 : print x : goto 10
run
1
2
3
etc
I don't know why, but this great UNKNOWN bother
