Hello, Explorer! In this lesson, we will revisit Ruby loops, essential tools that simplify repetitive tasks.

Think of loops as a playlist on repeat. We will explore the Ruby looping universe and gain hands-on experience by applying loops to collections like arrays and strings.

Have you ever listened to your favorite song on repeat? That's what loops are about in programming: repeating a sequence of steps efficiently. Let’s take a look at how you can greet a list of friends using an each loop:
