I was checking the Python exercism track, and I saw that it covers all the loops in a single concept called Loops and as the Java track does not cover While loops and has For-each and For loops separated on why do not take the same approach as in the Python track.

What do you guys think?

    Another good observation, thanks! In fact, I checked my notes and it seems like I agree with you:

    Concepts to add:

    • ...
    • While loops. Actually, shouldn't we just combine for/foreach/while/do-while into Loops or Looping?

    One thing to keep in mind is that the concept should be taught through an exercise. Merging the existing concepts into one big one that covers For, For-Each and While means that we would have to update the existing exercise or come up with a new one that covers all of these constructs.

    Feel free to comment any ideas on how to do this, as I'm inclined to agree with you on having a single concept on looping constructs.

    Well maybe we could re format the concept using the exercise in the python track making-the-grade to put all in one, what do you think?

    I was thinking on adding this to the forum as I did with the Functional Programming topic as well
