LOOP
A loop is a repeating sequence of operations in a computer program. The
number of repetitions can range from two to thousands, millions, or bil-
lions. Often, the number of iterations depends on the data input. In some
programs, there are loops within loops. This is called nesting of loops.
Loops are useful in mathematical calculations that involve repetitious
operations. Until computers were developed, many such problems could
