If you write Python loops, you can already write Mojo loops. The syntax is the same: for, while, break, continue.

To repeat something n times, use for _ in range(n):

Comprehensions work, too, i.e. [x * x for x in range(5)]

The biggest difference is speed. Mojo compiles your code, while Python interprets one step at a time.

We counted the primes below 2 million with the same trial-division loop in both languages (no sieve): Python took 2.8 seconds, Mojo took 57 ms.
