Repeating Terms
	v Iteration is the repeated execution of a series of statements in programming v To perform iteration, programming languages include special statements often called iteration statements v There are two crucial components of all iterations: o The statements that will be repeated -- called the loop body o A test specifying when to repetition stops -- termination test v Additionally, loops typically have at least one variable that is explicitly changed “inside” the loop -- this is called the iteration variable
			Some value must change between consecutive iterations, or else the loop will never terminate … it is an infinite loop
