Show students what code looks like with and without loops to motivate the reasons for using them.

students understand loops by mapping the code with them back to code without them.

motivate loops by helping students see how they make the code easier to understand.

Example code with while loop:

int count = 0;
while (count < 6) {
     System.out.println("Count is: " + count);
    count++;
}

Example code with do while loop:

int count = 0;
do {
    System.out.println("Count is: " + count);
    count++;
} while (count < 6);

Example code without loop (with iteration):

int count = 0;
System.out.println("Count is: " + count);
count++
System.out.println("Count is: " + count);
count++
System.out.println("Count is: " + count);
count++
System.out.println("Count is: " + count);
count++
System.out.println("Count is: " + count);
count++
System.out.println("Count is: " + count);
count++

Example code without loop:

System.out.println("Count is: " + 0);
System.out.println("Count is: " + 1);
System.out.println("Count is: " + 2);
System.out.println("Count is: " + 3);
System.out.println("Count is: " + 4);
System.out.println("Count is: " + 5);
