LOOP

Sometimes, robots need to do the same thing
again and again. A loop helps the robot repeat

the same actions automatically, so you don’t
need to tell it every time.

Imagine a robot that needs to sweep the floor.
Instead of telling the robot to move forward,

turn left and sweep the floor three times, you
can use a loop. This makes it much easier to program the robot.

For example, the following instruction can be given to the robot to clean the floor:

Repeat 3 times:
If a robot sees someone getting hurt,
Move forward
should it stop and alert a human for
Turn left help immediately to ensure safety?

Sweep the floor

By using a loop, the robot will repeat the given three steps three times without you
having to write them out each time. This saves time and makes the program simpler.
