1 00:00:00,630 --> 00:00:04,360 Hello and welcome to this lecture in this lecture. 2 00:00:04,470 --> 00:00:09,630 Help me explain me what loops are in the Ruby programming language. 3 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:20,290 Loops are basically used to execute the same block of code a specified number of times. 4 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:28,060 For example you may want to print a string set in tap or string 10 times. 5 00:00:28,330 --> 00:00:36,540 And the best way to do that rather than type in 10 times you can use a loop statement to implement that. 6 00:00:36,810 --> 00:00:47,310 There are different types of loops but in this course the ones I will be covering include the wire loops 7 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,590 for loops and break on tail and necks. 8 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,440 There are others but these other ones aren't being covering this course.
