Looping techniques

Looping techniques are methods used in programming to repeat a set of instructions multiple times without rewriting the code. They help automate repetitive tasks efficiently. For example, a loop can make a computer count from 1 to 10, process each item in a list, or repeatedly ask for input until a condition is met. Common types include "for" loops (repeat a specific number of times) and "while" loops (continue until a condition is false). These techniques save time and reduce errors by handling repetitive tasks systematically.
