I've reached my first wall in PHP, > Loops
I suck a math and so the moment i looked at the Loop code format...
Help??
Explain as if i were a Lloyd (Jim Carrey-Dumb and dumber) ...

Hi Prof Mac,
Sorry for only replying now,
I've been using multiple sources for learning php,I got distracted/confused by them,
Had a problem understanding what was going on in general.
But eventually realized how simple it was when explained by the homeandlearn tutorial.
Other tutorials don't break it down as well as homeandlearn, they dumb it down for vegetables like me
Thanks.

I'm done with this section, all understood!
As a summary :
For loops are generally for when you know how many times the loop is going to run
Do While loops will execute the loop at least once and then check to see if a condition is met
While loops will only execute if a condition is met, so the whole loop will be skipped if it's not met

seems like all programming languages are common when it come to loops
done with this section..on to the next one

Beware of infinite loops they can be frustrating!!!!!!!

Completed this section.
@ Sipho, I got interested at your notice and I thought to check
An infinite loop (also known as an endless loop or unproductive loop) is a sequence of instructions in a computer program which loops endlessly, either due to the loop having no terminating condition, having one that can never be met, or one that causes the loop to start over. In older operating systems with cooperative multitasking, infinite loops normally caused the entire system to become unresponsive. With the now-prevalent preemptive multitasking model, infinite loops usually cause the program to consume all available processor time, but can usually be terminated by the user. Busy-wait loops are also sometimes called "infinite loops". One possible cause of a computer "freezing" is an infinite loop; others include deadlock and access violations.

Section completed!
A comment I'd like to add is that my experience in the Web Design short course I did last semester really helped me so far in this course. Specifically talking about HTML, CSS and Javascript relating to the PHP structure. Just some good advice to pass onto future students!
