I have this homework question about loops in general (if it make sense at all), it goes like this:
Describe the three elements that must be included in order for a loop to successfully perform correctly.
Any idea what they might be?

2woudn't 2 be more of an "exit condition"?

@Radu: no - 2 is the continuation condition - you exit when it is no longer met.

Increment can be rather misleading, a loop can perform decrement (though one might argue it's a -1 increment). For a `while` loop, increment/decrement isn't implicit.

A:
Riding on Martin's answer and assuming that a successful loop can be an infinite one, here's my rendition
- Initialisation
- Condition (e.g. check for early exit)
- Continuation
