Computer Science: KS3, topic 2.1.9
Iteration
Iteration allows a group of statements to be repeated multiple times. Iteration statements are often called loops. There are two types of iteration: definite iteration and indefinite iteration.
Indefinite iteration
- A block of code will repeat while a specified condition is true.
Definite iteration
- A block of code will repeat a known number of times.
Flow diagram
- A flow diagram for iteration uses the diamond shape.
