What is defined as a set number of times a block of code runs?

The concept of a set number of times a block of code runs is best captured by a "For Loop." This type of loop is explicitly designed to execute a specific number of iterations, which is determined at the beginning of the loop.

In a For Loop, you will typically specify an initialization (where the loop variable starts), a condition (which keeps the loop running), and an increment (which updates the loop variable). This clear structure allows for precise control over the number of times the loop executes, making it ideal when the number of iterations is known beforehand.

For example, if you want to execute a block of code exactly ten times, a For Loop provides a straightforward way to accomplish this by setting up the loop to iterate from 0 to 9, executing the contained code during each iteration.

The other types of loops have different characteristics: A While Loop continues to execute as long as a certain condition remains true, which does not guarantee a specific number of iterations. A Do-While Loop guarantees at least one execution of the code block but still depends on a condition that allows it to repeat, and there is no inherent limit to the number of executions. A Conditional Loop is a broader term that can apply to both While and Do-While
