A while loop is used when

• You know how many times you are going to loop

• You want to loop for an unknown number of times, and possibly forever

• You only want to run the code in the loop once

• You see the word while in the problem description

Why is iteration important?

• It determines the order in which instructions are carried out

• It allows code to be simplified by removing duplicated steps into a block that can be executed many times

• It allows multiple paths through a program

• It ensures the code works correctly
