For Loop question

"For month in months..."

If the "months" is a constant or variable that you are trying to create a for loop condition for, then what does the "month" represent? Is it an arbitrary name or a key? Whats the purpose for having this?

I believe month is a variable, as it is the number used each time the for loop is executed. Month is an arbitrary name, but convention says that it should be the singular version of whatever you are iterating through.

month is the variables which incremented everytime the loop iterates. Its starting value is the lowest value of months array and ending value the highest of the mentioned array. So, it is used to iterate through the array values.

Hope it helps
