Algorithms

Repetition

Repetition means doing the same step over again.
The step can be repeated with different variables.
- A variable is something that can change.

Repetition: example

The toppings must be placed on the cakes.
The step is repeated for each cake (repetition).
But the type of topping can change each time (variable).

Repeat until...

Sometimes a step can be repeated until something happens.
Then we can move to the next step.
A step is repeated until something happens.
This step is called a ‘repeat until’ instruction.

Repeat until: example

Put cake batter in each paper case.
Repeat until all the cases are filled
Then stop and go to the next step.
