Description:

The topic should be introduced briefly – there are two different types of loops

The students are now given two examples in which the respective loop type is explained and described.

In the next phase, the students are asked to describe two activities in the form of loops and to identify which type of loop is best suited to describe the situation.

The students discuss:

•           Where are there still things to repeat? •           How to formulate conditions (pseudo code)
