When we write “for _____ in ______” I understand that the second blank refers to the list or dictionary from which we are pulling items. But the first blank seems less clearly defined. Is that a provisional title we are assigning the items of the list/dictionary for the purpose of the loop? Or are those specific terms that I must have just missed?
It’s an assignment to a name (chosen by the author), much like x = 3 is an assignment of integer 3 to the name x. The right hand side blank is iterated though item by item and assigned to whatever name you chose for the left blank.
