loop

A loop is a way for computers to repeat a set of instructions multiple times without rewriting the code. It’s like a recipe step that you do repeatedly until a certain condition is met. For example, if you want to print numbers 1 to 5, a loop can automatically do this by counting each number and printing it, then moving on, until it reaches 5. Loops help automate repetitive tasks efficiently, saving time and effort. They are fundamental in programming for controlling how many times a process runs.
