Answer:

Some Machines that Use Cycles

Bicycle — your legs drive the pedals connected to a gear which spins.
CD Player — the disk spins (cycles) as the laser moves across it.
TV Set — pictures are put one the screen one after another as long as the set is on.
Water Pump — often a piston repeatedly moving in and out of a cylinder.
Laundry Dryer — rotating drum.
Clock — shows the same times every day. If the clock is mechanical, its insides are gears and springs with many mechanical cycles. If the clock is electronic the cycles are still there, but harder to see.
Sun and the Earth — endlessly cycling, seasons flowing one into the next.

Perhaps the ultimate example of the usefulness of cycles is the ultimate machine—the wheel.

The `DO` and `LOOP` statements

Here is a program that uses a loop:

' Example of a loop
'
DO                        
  PRINT "Type a number"
  INPUT NUMBER
  PRINT "6% of the number is", NUMBER * 0.06
LOOP                     
END

The DO statement marks the beginning of several statements that will be done again and again. The LOOP statement marks the end of those statements. When this program runs this is what happens:

The program starts with the DO statement. The DO shows the beginning of the loop.
The first PRINT statement is executed and prints "Type a number".
The INPUT statement is executed and gets a number to put in the variable NUMBER.
- Say that the user typed in 100.
The second PRINT statement prints "6% of the number is" and then computes and prints six percent of NUMBER.
- If the NUMBER is 100, the program will print "6% of the number is 6"
The LOOP statement marks the end of the loop.

At this point, the statements between DO and LOOP have each executed one time. They are about to execute a second time.
