Creating loops

A loop is used to repeat a block of statement a certain number of times until a condition is met. There are 4 ways to execute loops in BASIC. 

• The FOR NEXT statement
• The DO LOOP statement
• The WHILE WEND statement
• The GOTO statement

The most popular are the FOR NEXT and DO LOOP statements.

Where are they used? Here are some examples:

• In solving mathematic problems where you have to print a list of numbers which are incremented steadily.
• In games where you have to monitor continuously for keyboard input or mouse input
