3.08 Iterations Homework: Themed Loop-Based Checker

Theme: a school server monitor. Each number is the load (as a percent) on a server. Low loads are safe and get skipped, higher loads need action, and the first critical load stops the scan.

Requirements

• At least 8 values and 2 thresholds (safe_cutoff, critical_cutoff)
• A for loop, continue to skip safe values, and break to stop at the first critical value
• At least 3 tracked summary values (checked, skipped, action count, running total, critical found)
• A clearly labeled final report

Submission safety rules

• One CodeRunner task per cell, with the # CODE_RUNNER: line at the top
• Run each cell and leave the output showing
• Use your own values, include your MCQ score, and use ## headings or smaller
