🎯 What you will learn
- A loop repeats steps
- Loops make code shorter
- Spotting patterns that repeat
👋 Let’s get started!
Imagine telling Robo “jump, jump, jump, jump, jump…” 100 times! 😵 Instead, coders say “repeat jump 100 times”. That’s called a LOOP!
🪜 Step by step
1. 🔄 What is a loop?
A loop repeats the same steps again and again. It saves lots of work!
2. 🔍 Find the pattern
Look for things that repeat: clap, stomp, clap, stomp… That pattern can be a loop!
3. 🔢 How many times?
A loop needs to know how many times to repeat — like “repeat 3 times”.
🧪 Try it!
Read the code, guess what it prints, then press 👀 Show output.
