Code.org Lesson 2 - Loops

Iteration in coding refers to the process of repeatedly executing a set of instructions, until a specific condition is met.

Selection in coding refers to making decisions within a program by choosing one or more paths or actions based on specific conditions or criteria.

Sequence in coding means executing instructions one after the other in a set order.

Sequence

Sequence in coding refers to the linear order in which instructions are executed, ensuring that they are carried out one after the other in a predetermined fashion.

Selection (IF statements)

Selection in coding refers to making decisions within a program by choosing one or more paths or actions based on specific conditions or criteria.

Iteration (loops)

Iteration in coding refers to the process of repeatedly executing a set of instructions, typically within a loop, until a specific condition is met.

Lesson 10

Loops with Rey and BB-8 - work through the stage. You need to make sure your lesson circles are solid green!

Nested Loops

A nested loop is like having a loop inside another loop, which helps us do things over and over in a more organized way, especially when dealing with complicated tasks.
