Computer Programming Looping Statements

Programs can automatically repeat subroutines and subprograms based on these looping statements. They can repeat a number of times, count a set of items and repeat for each item, or repeat as long as an attribute is true or false.

For variable = startvalue to endvalue
  Commands
Next

for (initial variable value, final value, increment) {
  commands;
}

while (condition) {
  commands;
}

do {
  commands;
} while (condition);
