Doing It Again! 🔁
Hello, repeat hero! 🦸 Imagine writing "I love coding" 100 times by hand. Boring! 😴 Loops let the computer repeat work for us! 🎉
What Is a Loop? ➰
A loop is code that runs again and again. Like a song chorus that repeats! 🎵
The Lazy Way 😎
Without a loop, we copy the same line many times. So much typing! Watch this tired example:
print("Jump! 🤸")
print("Jump! 🤸")
print("Jump! 🤸")Loops to the Rescue! 🚀
A loop does the same thing with way less code! This repeats "Jump!" three times. ✨
for i in range(3):
print("Jump! 🤸")Why Loops Are Awesome 🌟
Loops save time, save typing, and never get tired! Computers LOVE doing things over and over. 💪
Repeat 5 Times 🖐️
Change the number to repeat more! Here we cheer 5 times.

print("Hooray! 🎉")Loops Count for Us 🔢
A loop can also count! The little i holds the number each time. We will learn more soon!
