What is Iteration in problem-solving terms?

• A. A method of storing data
• B. A unit of measurement for time
• C. Repeating a process to create a more efficient solution
• D. A one-time snapshot of a process

Answer: (C)

Iteration is repeating a process to improve a solution. When solving a problem, you try something, see how it works, adjust based on what you learned, and try again. Each pass lets you fix mistakes, streamline steps, and move closer to the goal. You keep looping until the result fits what’s required or becomes more efficient. The other options describe things that don’t involve repeating and refining: storing data is just keeping information, a unit of time is a measurement, and a one-time snapshot captures only a single moment.
