                                                 The act  of  repeating  an  action  again  and  again  is  called
                                                 looping.
                                                 Let us understand loops with the help of an example.






                     'Sub1 Reloaded' is          You can observe that first Harry

                                                       Reasoning and Problem Solving are used in the stepwise

                   A computer can only                 Problem Solving is the process of finding solutions to a
