A loop tells a program how many times to repeat an action or set of actions. Loops will make your program more efficient. You can tell a program to repeat something two times ... or 200 times! You could even program something to repeat FOREVER! An important skill to use when creating loops is Pattern Recognition. All you have to do is look for patterns in the algorithm and put those patterns in a loop!
