LOOP AS A LABOR FORCE

One of the strengths of the computer is its ability to repeat a process over and over without getting tired or threatening to strike.  The program that you have written to perform a single task can now be repeated to perform the same task as many times as you wish.  This process of going over and over is known as repetition and is called a loop.  Can you think of a loop?  Of course! Our everyday activities, including getting up, eating working, studying, and sleeping are examples of a loop.  Can you identify other loops?  With a little thought, I know  you can.
