initial ideas

The while construct consists of a block of code and a condition. So i knew i needed to come up with ideas that would involve both of these. In computing language, the condition is then evaluated, and if the condition is true, the code within the block is executed. This repeats until the condition becomes false. Because while loops check the condition before the block is executed.

I did a quick brainstorm of some possible ideas that could be used as a metaphor for a loop.
Some of the initial thoughts which came to me were:

  • A flower based idea in which a petal is added until the daisy is formed and fully bloomed. Once petals are all in place (one at a time). petals are removed until flower is bare. 



loves me, loves me not...


  • An infinity loop based on the idea of the chicken and the egg, - which comes first? Contineous loop of the chicken or the egg, which could be expressed by simplicity of a poster.
