Fixed Loop<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A fixed loop<\/strong> will repeat for a set amount of time and allows the code to carry out repetitive lines of code.\u00a0 The number of times a selection of code has to be repeated is normally specified by the programmer.<\/p>\n

The For Loop<\/strong> has a loop counter<\/strong>. This counter<\/strong> is an integer and its value will increase by 1<\/strong> every time a loop has completed.<\/p>\n

The code within a loop is indented so show where the\u00a0 loop will begin and end within the program.<\/p>\n
