In theory, how could I exhibit the number of times the for-loop runs?

edit

One way you could exhibit the number of times the for-loop runs is by creating a counter variable before the for-loop and incrementing it by 1 within the loop each time it runs. At the end of the loop, you could print out the value of the counter variable to display the number of iterations. Here's an example:

count = 0
for i in range(10):
    # do some operation
    count += 1

print("The for-loop ran", count, "times.")

This code creates a counter variable count initialized to 0, and then runs a for-loop with 10 iterations. Within the loop, it increments the count variable by 1 each time it runs. Finally, it prints out the value of count to display the number of times the loop ran.
