Homonym: loop (Circle)
A "loop" is a programming structure that repeats a set of instructions until a specific condition is met. It allows developers to automate repetitive tasks, making code more efficient and easier to manage. Common types of loops include the for loop, while loop, and do-while loop, each serving different purposes based on the situation.
In everyday life, a loop can also refer to a circular path or route. For example, a running loop in a park allows joggers to complete a circuit without needing to turn around. This concept of looping can be applied in various contexts, such as music, where a loop can repeat a section of a song.
