[Tutor] for loop

[mbikinyi brat]

Dear ALL,
I am a beginner in python and I just copied the code in blue below and execute and had the result in green. Then I thought letter should be a special word in python. Then I now replace letter whith chic  and yet the same results is obtained. I cannot reconcile them. Can someone explained to me please?
>>> for letter in "python":
 print "Current letter:", letter
 
Current letter: p
Current letter: y
Current letter: t
Current letter: h
Current letter: o
Current letter: n
 
>>> for chic in "python":
 print "chic:", chic
 
chic: p
chic: y
chic: t
chic: h
chic: o
chic: n

 
 
Regards,
Henry
