A for loop repeats the indented lines under it, as many times as range says.
Typing the same line again and again is slow, and a typo can hide in one of the copies. A loop lets you write the job once.
A for loop repeats the lines pushed in under it. Range says how many turns there are.
Range of five counts zero, one, two, three and four. That is five numbers, so the loop turns five times.
Only lines pushed in belong to the loop. A line that is not pushed in runs just once.
3 times. Range of three makes the loop run three times.
8 waves. The loop follows whatever number range holds.
Once. The Bow line is not pushed in, so it is outside the loop.
Zero. It counts 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4, which is five numbers.
False. A pushed-in line is inside the loop, so it runs on every turn.
Ask a grown-up to be the coder and call out a loop, like repeat six times: clap, then spin. You are the computer, so you do exactly that, and then you swap. Spot loops around the house too, like stairs, the chorus of a song or brushing teeth.
Be the computer together: say a loop such as repeat six times, clap and then spin, and your child does exactly that. Then swap, and spot loops at home, like the chorus of a song or stairs.
