Loops: Count and Condition Flashcards

1️⃣ Familiarise yourself with the flashcards:

Look through all the flashcards to see what's on both sides.
Make sure you understand the information on each card. If something's unclear, click the link to the revision notes at the bottom of the page for more details.

2️⃣ Test yourself:

Look at the question or prompt on each card and try to remember the answer before flipping it over.
Check the answer and make a note of any cards you find challenging and need to go over more.

3️⃣ Consistently Review and Practice:

Use spaced repetition: spend more time on the cards you struggle with and go over them more often.
Regularly review all the flashcards to help you better understand and retain the information over time.

Note: We may include questions that have multiple correct answers. It's useful to remember specific examples to understand these concepts better.

What is a count-controlled loop?

A loop that repeats a set number of times using a counter.

A loop that repeats based on a test, not a fixed count.

When you know how many times you need to repeat.

When you do not know the number of repeats in advance.

FOR, TO, optional STEP, and NEXT.

Yes. The loop runs when i equals n.

It sets how much the counter changes each time, for example STEP 2 or STEP -1.

Yes. It runs while the condition is true and stops when it is false.

Yes. It checks the condition after the body and stops when the condition is true.

Initialise the counter to a start value.

A loop that never ends because the stop condition is never met.
