+// Reflection Questions
+// Which topic felt easiest for you?

+// Which topic felt most challenging?
+// Doing the Loops
+
+// How do they work together?
+// Variables store data and conditionals make decisions,
+// functions organize code, and loops repeat actions.
+
+// What is one question you still have?
+// How can I debug my code faster?
