The conditional statements of the previous chapter freed our programs from the straitjacket of the sequential execution of instructions without branching, but it is the ability to loop, or repeat the execution of one or more instructions, that brings power to programming. It brings economy too, for a modest number of programming language statements can be responsible for a significant amount of computing time.
