Study Notes

Loop Structure

Loop is a programming structure that allows the repeated execution of a block of statements.
The "Loop Body" refers to the set of statements that are repeatedly executed.
The loop body is executed repeatedly until a specific condition is met.
Loop execution is governed by an initialization statement, a condition, and an increment/decrement operation.
