Loops (Repeating Code)

Another method of control is repetition. You wouldn't want to write all of the code that does something one hundred times. That would be like writing the same sentence one hundred times. For that, we ask the computer to do something repeatedly. We will look at count-controlled for loops and condition-controlled while or do loops.
