Newbie have thoughts about logic

if you use more descriptive variable names it reads a bit more like English
for letter in "banana":  print(letter)

Yes the sentence for each letter in "banana" print the letter sounds valid to me.

Why use the word "print" when you mean "Check if"? Print means something else in English.

(This is a variation of what Yoriz said.) In the sample you provided, it is printing an expression and the expression is doing a check. The word print is misleading but I definitely do not considering it to be doing Check if; the checking is done by the expression, not the print function.

why not simply use the for each expression in python instead of the for-loop expression?

Many other languages often use inappropriate terms. Python is improved over the C language that would say:

char banana[] = "banana";
int x;
for (x = 0; x < strlen(banana); ++x)
printf("%c\n", banana[x]);

If you want a language that is defined to be understandable to non-developers then look at COBOL; COBOL loops are described in COBOL - Loop Statements.

Interesting! Wow - how can anything be done in such a complicated language as C? If I would try and learn that I would go nuts for sure. Thanks for the COBOL tip, I'll look into it.
