Programming and Algorithms: Week 4

What are we doing this week?

This week we are going to look at the idea of ITERATION, how to tell the program to repeat operations.
First we will look at the WHILE loop, and then the FOR, DO and LOOP loops.
Moving onto the Python side of things we will look at how to implement ITERATION in Python.

Lab #4
Lab #4 is all about checking if what you have learned in the episodes above all makes sense, and if you can use WHILE loops and the FOR loops.
