What is a counter loop?

A counter loop:

• Runs an incremental counter
• Continues looping until the value of the counter reaches or exceeds a pre-specified limit

The counter may increment by a value of one or by a value of more than one, but:

It increments by the same amount each time it increments.

This lesson illustrates:

• The use of a while loop to implement a counter loop.
• The use of a for loop to implement a counter loop
