Debugging Loops and Conditionals
Students practice identifying and fixing common errors in programs involving loops and conditional statements.
Key Questions
- Evaluate common errors that occur in loops and conditional statements.
- Differentiate between syntax errors and logical errors in iterative code.
- Predict the outcome of a program after a specific bug in a loop is fixed.

Introduction to Loops: Repeating Actions
Students learn the concept of iteration and how 'for' or 'repeat' loops can automate repetitive tasks.
2 methodologies
Conditional Loops: 'While' Loops
Using 'while' loops, students create programs that repeat actions as long as a specific condition remains true.
