Control Structures: Loops and Iteration

This lecture delves into the concepts of control structures, focusing on loops and iteration. The instructor explains the importance of expressing treatments in a program using tools like loops. Topics covered include conditional loops, iterations, and iterating over a set of values. The lecture also highlights common mistakes in programming, such as using break and continue statements, and emphasizes the significance of writing clear and readable code. Additionally, it discusses the challenges of working with numerical approximations in programming and the implications of using discrete machines for mathematical operations.
