Lesson 4.1 Iteration

Description

In this lesson, students will learn how and when to use a while loop. Repetitive code can be avoided by using a while loop. While loops are used to repeat a set of statements until a condition is met. This lesson corresponds with AP Computer Science A topic 4.1.

Objective

Students will be able to:

Represent iterative processes using a while loop
Execute a return or break statement inside an iteration statement to halt the loop and exit the method or constructor
Develop an algorithm
Identify if an integer is or is not evenly divisible by another integer
Determine a minimum or maximum value
Compute a sum, average, or mode
