Chapter 4 - Loops. Loops are important for calculations that require repeated steps and for processing input consisting of many data items. In this chapter you will learn about loop statements in C++, as well as techniques for writing programs that process input and simulate activities in the real world. | C++ for Everyone by Cay Horstmann Copyright © 2012 by John Wiley & Sons.
