ΣΦΑΙΡΙΚΗ ΕΙΚΟΝΑ

Στόχοι

To make students learn how to repeat the execution of the same code multiples times while the specified condition or criteria is fulfilled. Repetition control structure is one of the main control structure in programming beside sequence and selection structures.

In programming, there are many situations in which it is necessary to repeat the execution of a set of statements. There are three looping (repetition) structures: while, for, and do…while. It allows repeating statements over and over until certain conditions are met. Using this construct of programming, programmers do not need to write the same set of statements multiple times.
