#Unit 13 - Loops & Arrays

##Synopsis This unit introduces arrays and loops to our students. Students will learn how to initialize, store, and read from arrays. They will also learn how to access and manipulate individual elements of the array. Students will also learn the basics of loops. They will start with while loops and learn what an index is and the broader concept of iteration. They will then be introduced to the upgraded for loop. Finally, they will connect their knowledge of arrays to loops.
