This document discusses loops in RobotC programming. It defines a loop as a structure that repeats a set of instructions, connecting the end to the beginning. In RobotC, there are three types of loops: counted loops that repeat code a specified number of times, infinite loops that repeat code forever, and conditional loops that repeat code until a condition is met. Examples are given for each type of loop, such as moving forward for 2 rotations and stopping for 1 second, repeating this 5 times using a counted loop.

4. WHAT IS
DICTIONARY
Structure, series or process in which the
end is connected to the beginning.
LOOP
COMPUTER
reiteration of a set of instructions in a
routine or program.
PROGRAMMING
Follows the program flow and sends
the flow back to the beginning and runs
again
Repeats the program in a certain
number of times

6. ROBOTC
LOOP
 It will execute the code inside of its braces
for the specified number of times.

7. ROBOTC
LOOP EXAMPLE
The robot will move forward for 2 rotations
and stop for 1 second. It will repeat this
behavior 5 times total.

8. ROBOTC
LOOP
 It will execute the code inside of its braces
forever.

9. ROBOTC
LOOP EXAMPLE
The robot will move forward for 2 rotations
and stop for 1 second. It will repeat this
behavior forever.

10. ROBOTC
LOOP
 It will continually execute the code inside
of its braces until the specified condition is
true.

11. ROBOTC
LOOP EXAMPLE
The robot will move forward until the left
encoder reaches 720 counts (about 2
rotations), then the robot will stop.

12. ROBOTC
LOOP
 It will continually execute the code inside
of its braces while the specified condition
is true.

13. ROBOTC
LOOP EXAMPLE
The robot will move forward while the left
motor's encoder is less than 720 counts, then
it will stop its motors.

14. Direction: Write the correct answer for
each question.
1. A loop which execute the code inside of its braces for the specified number of times.
2. A loop which execute the code inside of its braces forever.
3. A loop which continually execute the code inside of its braces until the specified
condition is true.
4. The robot will move forward for 2 rotations and stop for 1 second. It will repeat this
behavior 5 times total. What type of loop is given?
5. Which of the three repeat loops can be used as a conditional block?
