Consider the following example:
Find the sum of 10 numbers provided by the user.
This can be accomplished as follows:
The above solution is very long as well as difficult to understand , manipulate and communicate .
Observe that there were many repeated steps in obtaining input from the user.
The solution can be simplified by looping.
A general looping construct is shown below:
The solution can be simply implemented using looping:
Class Discussion: walk-through of solution is discussed.
