The
Repeat group activity is responsible for repeating the series of grouped activities until the specified condition evaluates to
true. The activities are always executed once before checking whether the condition is
true. After executing the series of activities, the initial evaluation of the condition is done, and it does not repeat when the condition evaluates as
true. The
Repeat activity evaluates the loop's conditional statement to determine whether or not more iterations of the loop are required.
