So what would I want to do? I'd like to somehow walk down each of the digits one at a time and add them up. Ah, that's a looping mechanism, right? I need to have some way of walking through them.

去取这个数的,每个数字然后把他们加起来,啊，这是个循环机制对不对？,我得找到一个遍历它们的方法,一种简单的方法可能。

That is basically saying, given some collection of data, I want to have again a looping mechanism, where now my process is, walk through this, the collection one element at a time. And for that, we have a particular construct, called a FOR loop.

现在我的过程就是,通过一个个访问这个集合中,的元素的方式，来遍历这个集合,为了达到这个目的，我们有一个特定的结构，成为FOR循环。
