Sometimes we need to do something a couple of times
'do the following 3 times
'move the tortoise 50 pixels
'turn the tortoise 120 degrees
'repeat
This could be translated with some easy cut & pasting
Tortise.Move(50)
Tortise.Turn(120)
Tortise.Move(50)
Tortise.Turn(120)
Tortise.Move(50)
Tortise.Turn(120)
But this quickly becomes tiresome. A better approach is to use the For Loop
For i = 1 to 3
Tortise.Move(50)
Tortise.Turn(120)
EndFor
Notice that it seems to more closely follow the english.
'Do the following 6 times
translates to
For i = 1 to 6
and
'Repeat
becomes
EndFor
