Definition: A length of thread, line or rope that is doubled over to make an opening.

Okay class, settle down now, let’s take a look! That definition you read – “A length of thread, line or rope that is doubled over to make an opening” - it's perfectly accurate, don't you see? It describes a bowline , which is a clever knot, truly free. But when we talk about "loops" in computer science, something different takes flight! A “loop” in programming isn’t about tying knots, my dears, it’s all about repetition and gears! It's like saying: “Do this again, and again, and yet again!” Think of it like a race track – the car goes around and around, never stopping until it reaches the end. A loop in code does exactly that - it repeats a set of instructions over and over until a certain condition is met. Here’s how we can put it to rhyme: “A loop is a cycle, a repeating plea, To run commands again for you and me! It checks a condition, then starts anew, Until the task is finished, strong and true!” Does that make more sense? Do you have any questions about how loops work in programming? Perhaps we can look at an example later...
