Controle structures - Part II

Controle structures

Sequence logic, or sequential flow
Selection logic, or conditional flow
Iteration logic, or repetitive flow (today's focus)

Two types of loops

For loop
While loop

Programming workflow

There is raw data
Raw data should be processed - Functions
Processed data should be stored

Computers can do 3 things

Repeat sth large number of times (today's focus)
Remember results
Decide when to stop

Loops

Loops are used when we want to execute same part of code multiple times or
When you want to execute same part of code while some condition is true.

For loop

When you know in advance how many iterations you will have

While loop

Used when we do not know how many times some algorithm should be executed.
We need to check condition every time, in order to know do we need to stop.
