DO NOT REPEAT, I REPEAT, DO NOT REPEAT!

Ha, Ha! Just a bit of ill humour there from me. Repitition. Our new topic for Friday. Some people in our class were already ahead and were done all the repitition assignments before the rest of the class even understood the concept. Some important keywords we learned in class were exit, loop and when. The exit and when keyowrds are extremely important in the program. Together they instruct the program when tom stop/exit. For example:

exit when -variable- [binary operator] - variable/constant -

The loop keyword instructs the computer to continue executing the program over and over again [or until the exit statement is true].
I think that class on Friday was extremely productive; I grasped alot about repitition and learned that the program executes the statements in "sequence". Mr. Arkin showed us the concept of repitition on his program of repitition. Our homework for the weekend was ou daily blog posting, repitition assignments 1 and 2, modification of assignment 2 [the user should specify when they should start and stop],  and a modification of a program Mr. Arkin showed us in class. Overall, compared to some other topics that we have covered, I find repitition quite easy and simple.

Yours until the ice melts,
