what are for loops?

count controlled

for the code: for x in rage (m,n,o):, what does m represent ?

print('What is your age?')
age = int(input())
print('Total books read in 2024:')
books = int(input())

if age > 10 and books > 8:
    print("That's impressive!")
elif age > 10 and books <= 8:
    print("You should read more")
else:
    print("I hope you like reading")
