Loop Initialization is done Once

Here is the modified program:

' Complete program
' 
PRINT "How many times do you want to print Hello"
INPUT ENDVALUE

LET COUNT = 1
DO WHILE COUNT <= ENDVALUE

  PRINT "Hello"  
  LET COUNT = COUNT + 1

LOOP

END

In this program, statements handle three tasks:

1. Some statements get input from the user.
2. Some statements are concerned with running the loop.
3. One statement prints "Hello".

It might look like this is a lot of work. But if the user types in 1000, "Hello" is printed 1000 times. (Remember the power of cycles.) This is much better than typing the statement 1000 times.
