5. Iteration: Act of repeating or lopping specific sections of code

6. Count controlled Iteration: Repeats a set number of times

7. Condition controlled: Repeats until a condition is met or something in the program changes

8. Errors

   • Syntax Error An error in the rules/grammar of the language Eg missing colon / spelling mistake
   • Logic Error The program is written to do something other than what the programmer intended Eg Resetting only the first 9 elements in an array instead of all 10.
