Loops are a fundamental concept in programming that allow us to repeat a sequence of instructions multiple times.

Think of it like a game where you have to complete a certain task, like jumping over obstacles. Instead of performing the same sequence of jumps over and over again, you can use a loop to repeat that sequence automatically.

In programming, there are different types of loops such as the "for loop" and the "while loop". A for loop is used to execute a sequence of instructions for a fixed number of times. For example, if you want to print the numbers from 1 to 10, you can use a for loop to iterate through the numbers and print each one.

A while loop is used to execute a sequence of instructions as long as a specific condition is true. For example, if you want to keep asking a user for input until they enter a valid response, you can use a while loop to keep prompting them until they provide a valid input.

Loops are an essential tool for solving problems in programming and can help to make your code more efficient and concise.
