--description--

A loop is a sequence of instructions that is continually repeated until a certain condition is reached. Loops are used to run the same code multiple times efficiently. Common types of loops include for loops and while loops.

For example, for loop: for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { /* code to be executed */ }

In the example, the code inside the braces { } is executed repeatedly until the condition is no longer true.

--feedback--

A loop is not used to exit a program but to repeat a sequence of instructions.


It's a structure that repeats code until a certain condition is met.

Loops do not store data; they control the flow of execution by repeating operations.


It's a method to rename variables automatically.

--feedback--

Loops do not rename variables; they execute a block of code multiple times under specific conditions.
