## Loops ## Loops
TODO It's often useful to execute a block of code more than once. For this task, Sabre provides different kind of _loops_. A loop runs through the code inside the its body to the end and then starts immediately back at the beginning.
Sabre has two types of loops: `while` and `for`. Let's go through each of them.
### Conditional Loops with `while`
It’s often useful for a program to evaluate a condition within a loop. While the condition is true, the loop runs. When the condition ceases to be true, the program calls `break`, stopping the loop.
The example below loops three times, counting down each time, and then, after the loop, it prints another message and exits.
```
fn main() {
let number = 3
while number != 0 {
println(number)
number = number - 1
}
println("LIFTOFF!!!")
}
```
