Looping
Looping is a fundamental programming concept that allows a block of code to be executed repeatedly based on a condition or for a specified number of iterations. It enables efficient handling of repetitive tasks, such as processing arrays, generating sequences, or automating workflows, without writing redundant code. Common types include for loops, while loops, and do-while loops, which vary in syntax and control flow across programming languages.
Developers should learn looping to write concise and scalable code for tasks like data processing, batch operations, and iterative algorithms, as it reduces manual repetition and errors. It is essential in scenarios such as traversing data structures (e.g., lists or databases), implementing game loops, or automating repetitive actions in scripts, making it a core skill for any programming language.
