# Loop

### Intro

LLMs have the ability to loop based on a modifier or condition to determine the action.

### How it work ?

LLMs can operate step by step. The number of loops can be defined by a specific number or can loop through the entire data.

```
food list = []

Add food name into food list 10 times.
```

{% hint style="info" %}
A software developer could consider this ability similar to the **Loop** functionality in other programming languages.
{% endhint %}
