Looping Control Structures in Programming

The document introduces looping control structures in programming, defining loops and providing examples of their use. It discusses the differences between WHILE and FOR loops, highlights poor programming practices such as writing repetitive code, and outlines reasons why a functioning program may still be poorly written. Additionally, it includes tasks like writing pseudocode for user input loops and creating a flowchart for processing multiple applicants.

5. Write a pseudocode that repeatedly asks the user to enter a number. The loop should stop only if the user enters a
negative number, displaying “Done”. (4 marks)

6. Ten candidates applied for a driving license. Draw a flowchart that uses loop to read the name and age of each of
the 10 applicants, repeating the process exactly 10 times. (5 marks)
