Expand description of array iteration #1706
Description
Which module(s) and week(s) does this change affect?
Module: ITP - Data Groups
Week: 1
What is the work that needs to be done?
Prep material on iteration lacks fundamental ideas of iteration. We show them for...of, but there is space here to show them or explain the fundamental for loop more fully. I don't believe it is shown before this point.
Add an introduction to the idea of iteration more generally, including:
- That it is a general concept across coding languages.
- That our most fundamental loop is a for loop.
- that other loops exist and docs are great for that.
Why is this work important to do?
Fundamentals are the foundation on which good problem solving can occur, as we can always go back to those fundamentals when we want to truly shape an algorithm to what we want. It would be useful for us to reference those fundamental building blocks such as a for loop at this early point in learning about data structures.
