Answer:

COUNT works like the counters that guards use at the entrance to museums. Each time a visitor walks by, the guard clicks the counter and the count goes up by one.

LET COUNT = COUNT + 1 is like one click of the counter. COUNT is started out at zero, since, at the beginning of the day zero visitors have come to the museum.

Repeated Statements

The example program repeats those two statements:

' Counting up
LET COUNT = 0                  'Statement 1

PRINT COUNT                 'Statement 2
LET COUNT = COUNT + 1       'Statement 3

PRINT COUNT                    'Statement 4
LET COUNT = COUNT + 1          'Statement 5

PRINT COUNT                    'Statement 6
LET COUNT = COUNT + 1          'Statement 7

PRINT COUNT                    'Statement 8
LET COUNT = COUNT + 1          'Statement 9

PRINT COUNT                    'Statement 10
END

The program does the same two statements four times, then ends. What if you wanted the same two statements to be done again and again without end?
