Hey everyone! I've been diving into programming for about a month now and I feel like I still have a lot to learn. I've been experimenting with for loops using PyCharm, and I wrote some code that includes an outer and inner loop. Here's what I came up with:
```python
names = ["Gab", "Aubrey", "Jannet", "Justin"]
for name in names:
for index in range(len(name)):
print(name[index], end=" ")
print()
```
When I run it, the output I get is:
```
G a b
A u b r e y
J a n n e t
J u s t i n
```
However, I'm really confused about how and why this works. Can someone break it down for me?

What were you expecting the output to be? The code just goes through each name and prints out all the letters, separated by spaces. The only thing that might trip you up is understanding how to access specific letters in a string, like with `"gab"[1]` to get the second letter. It can be a little tricky at first!
The first loop is cycling through each name in your list, while the second loop goes through each letter of the current name. The `end=" "` part is what adds a space after printing each letter, which is why you see them spaced out in the output. It's a neat way to print letters one by one!
Ah, I see! I just didn't get how the indexing works. Thanks for clarifying!
