==Explain Like I'm 5 (ELI5)==Iteration is the process of doing something over and over again, such as playing a game of tag to improve at it. In machine learning, iteration refers to when a computer program keeps trying to improve its accuracy in predicting things by altering its settings each time something goes wrong (like getting tagged in tag), then trying again. Over time, this helps the program get better at making predictions with increased practice.

Machine learning relies on iteration to help computers learn from data. The computer begins with an initial guess about how to make predictions, and then updates its guess according to how well it did. This cycle continues until it gets as close to the right answer as possible.

Imagine you have a large bag of candy and you want to find the yummiest treat within it. To do this, you could taste each candy one by one and decide if it's tasty or not - this process is known as "iteration".
Machine learning uses a similar process to find the optimal solution to problems. Instead of candy, we provide instructions that the computer can follow to make a decision or solve an issue. And just like tasting each candy to find which is yummiest, this computer runs through these instructions many times with small modifications each time until it finds the ideal solution - this iterative process being known as "iteration".
