Re: Finite and Conditional Loops

Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there are actually three kinds of loops: finite, infinite, and conditional.
A finite loop is one that goes for a set amount of iterations. That is, in Scratch, the

repeat ()
block.
An infinite loop is one that goes on forever, aptly named
forever
A conditional loop is one that runs until a condition is true. This is the
repeat until <>
block.

Hope that cleared things up for you!
