7: Iteration
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
This chapter is about iteration, which is the ability to run a block of statements repeatedly. We saw a kind of iteration, using recursion, in Section 5.8. We saw another kind, using a for loop, in Section 4.2. In this chapter we’ll see yet another kind, using a while statement. But first I want to say a little more about variable assignment.
