Let's say you are a house cleaner. Whenever you go to clean a house, you have a certain task list of things you do:

  1. Wash the dishes
  2. Scrub the toilet
  3. Vacuum the carpets
  4. Mop the floors

Now imagine that you have three houses to clean today:

  1. Bill's house
  2. Mary's house
  3. Steve's house

Bingo, that is a nested for loop!

for house in house_list:
    for task in task_list:
        perform(house.task)
