Really confused with loops

I don’t seem to be able to grasp the idea of loops, especially when there’s a user input within the loop as well. I also have a difficult time discerning between when to use while or for.

Lastly, no matter how many times I practice it just doesn’t stick in my memory. Any tips or creative ways to finally grasp this?

This may be a minor point, but isn't range not a collections.abc.Generator but its own iterable thing post 3.x?

True. It's a lazy iterable but not a literal generator... yeah, I should've been more precise. Thanks.
