Think about it with an absolute non-programmer mind.
When I first encouterd a loop, it took men an hour to realize that I had 
to do the incrementing myself. I expected it to be automatic.
It took me a day to figure out I had to reset the counter of the inner 
loop myself. For me it seemed very logical that once I had gone through 
the loop the counter would not exist anymore until the loop was enterd 
again.

Now that I'm slowly learning some python, i did it wrong twice in pov. In 
python it indeed is all (more or less) automatic.

while i in range(25):
  while j in range(25):
    do some tings here inside the loops

coninue program outside the loop
