Does this function have iteration? It does not have a loop is why I ask…

I wouldn’t count it when reading. setInterval just times when the function runs. Iteration is checking to see if something is true until it isn’t (a for statement). To get points on Row 5, you need the big 3, sequence, selection and iteration.

Thanks. That’s what I thought. We have taught students to use a for loop.
