We have encountered various repetitious looping techniques, from the ridiculous (brute-force iteration) to the sublime (various loop statements with break, continue, and goto). With functions, conditional expressions, and—now—looping statements, we conclude our journey through C flow-of-control statements. Nearly all of these concepts can be easily translated into other programming languages.
In the bulk of the remainder of the book, we'll broaden our understanding and ability to manipulate data well beyond the simple forms we have so far encountered. In the next chapter, we will explore custom named values called enumerations.
