How do loops make your code more "efficient"?

they allow you to repeat functions without retyping them

Why does Swift Playgrounds use the real-life example of planting seeds to help explain loops?

Planting seeds is often done in a pattern that is repeated

Coding efficiently means to:

Create the shortest and simplest code

How do functions make your coding more efficient?

Allows you to combine commands into one step

Why are the first several Apple Swift puzzles on loops simple enough to solve in a single loop?

The puzzles are divided into patterns that repeat themselves

Which of the following describes the purpose of a loop?

Loops can call a function multiple times instead of once

Look at the highlighted portion of the loop example. What does this number represent?

The amount of times your commands will repeat
