Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In programming, what is iteration?
A
Repeating
B
Sequence order
C
A decision
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Repetition in a program means that lines of code will be run multiple times. Iteration is a term similar to repetition: it means to continue repeating an action until you achieve the correct outcome.

Detailed explanation-2: -Iteration is the repetition of a process in order to generate a (possibly unbounded) sequence of outcomes. Each repetition of the process is a single iteration, and the outcome of each iteration is then the starting point of the next iteration.

Detailed explanation-3: -In programming specifically, iterative refers to a sequence of instructions or code being repeated until a specific end result is achieved.

Detailed explanation-4: -Iteration is another way to express “do something many times". Most problems can be solved via both recursion and iteration, but one form may be much easier to use than the other. We will study three forms of iteration: tail-recursion, while loops, and for loops.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are two ways in which programs can iterate or ‘loop’: count-controlled loops. condition-controlled loops.
