Fixed Loop<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This program introduces the concept of a ‘fixed loop’. This is used to repeat a block of code a fixed amount of times. In this case, the block of code is just one line (Line 3) and it is repeated 10 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember that a block of code must be indented to clearly display which lines of code are part of the block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
