Loops
Abstract
The objectives of this chapter are to enable you to learn to program (or code) determinate loops with for and indeterminate loops with while. The for statement is used to repeat a block of statements a fixed number of times. This type of structure, where the number of repetitions must be determined in advance, is called determinate repetition. However, it often happens that the condition to end a loop is only satisfied during the execution of the loop itself. Such a structure is called indeterminate. In this case a while loop should be useful. Both loop structures are described in this chapter.
