	abstract = {we analyse the reasons why evolving programs with a
                 restricted form of loops is superior to evolving
                 programs without loops for two problems which have
                 underlying repetitive characteristics - a visit every-
                 square problem and a modified Santa Fe ant problem. We
                 show that in the case of loops there is a larger number
                 of solutions with smaller tree sizes. We show that the
                 computational patterns captured in the bodies of the
                 loops are reflective of repeating patterns in the
                 domain. We show that the increased computational cost
                 of evaluating an individual can be controlled by domain
                 knowledge.},
