INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONIC COMPUTERS. CHAPTER 5: LOOPING,

Abstract

Looping, which is a basic tool in programming and coding, offers certain clear advantages. Loops save storage space; are easier to write and debug; are easily modified to perform more or less work; and, most important, must be used in order to make our computer useful. Loops also offer the best illustration of the stored program concept: the computer can modify its own instructions during execution, and repeat them selectively.
