Etymology

The term 'looping' originates from the concept of a loop, which is a structure that repeats a sequence of instructions until a specific condition is met. The use of loops in programming dates back to the early days of computer programming languages. Loops are fundamental to the concept of iteration and play a crucial role in controlling the flow of a program. Over time, looping has become a key element in software development, enabling efficient and concise coding practices.
