Loops Blocks

                 Loops blocks allow you to repeat actions multiple times. Some of the important
                 loops blocks are:


                                      Block                                          Description

                                                                    Repeats  a set  of actions  a specific
                                  repeat  4   times
                                                                    number of times.
                                  do



                                                                    Executes actions continuously as long
                                 while    false
                                                                    as a condition is true.
                                 do




                                                                    Runs a set of actions a specific number
                           for    index      from 0 to  4
                                                                    of times, iterating over a range.
                           do




                                                                    Iterates over each element in a list or
                          for element  value   of   list
                                                                    array.
                          do



                                                                    Executes  a set  of actions  at  regular
                                  every   500   ms
                                                                    time intervals.





                                                                    Exits the current loop immediately.
                                        break


                                                                    Skips  the  rest  of the current iteration
                                      continue
                                                                    and moves to the next one.



                 Variable Blocks


                 Variables  are like  labelled boxes  that  store information  your  program  can use,
                 change and display. You can use them to store numbers, text or any other information
                 that needs to be updated or referenced throughout your project. To create your own

                 variable, click on the Make a Variable button.
