Looping for Dummies

Welcome to Loops 101. Here's where it's all about the basics of true and false loops. Don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds.

True Loops

A true loop is a loop that, well, actually loops. It keeps going until it reaches its end.

False Loops

A false loop, on the other hand, is a loop that just sort of... doesn't.

  • It's like a broken merry-go-round, but with more shouting.
  • It's like a never-ending staircase, but with a really steep hill that you can't climb.
  • See Example 2 of False Loops
