This document discusses using loops in programming to repeat actions. It notes that loops make repeating tasks easy and can end based on a set number of repetitions, running forever, or a specific condition being met. An example challenge is provided to write a program to go around a box once, and the solution is to use a loop block that runs four times to improve the code over copying blocks.

- 3. Repeating an Action Let’s say we want the robot to repeat an action over and over again. Would you just copy the block multiple times? Sure, that could work! What if I want to repeat that block forever? Now what? © EV3LESSONS.COM, 2016, (LAST EDIT: 7/26/2016) 3
