Looping

Daily life is full of repeated activities. Going to work each day, walking the dog, slicing a carrot are all tasks that involve repeating a series of steps. Let’s consider slicing a carrot. If we express this activity in pseudocode, it might look something like this:

1. get cutting board

2. get knife

3. place carrot on cutting board

4. lift knife

5. advance carrot

6. slice carrot

7. if entire carrot sliced, then quit, else go to step 4

Steps 4 through 7 form a loop. The actions within the loop are repeated until the condi- tion, “entire carrot sliced,” is reached.
