The code you provided demonstrates iteration. Here's a breakdown of the three basic programming constructs:

  1. Sequence: This refers to the execution of statements in a linear, step-by-step manner. Each line of code executes one after the other.

  2. Selection: This involves making decisions in the code, typically using conditional statements (like if, else, etc.) to execute certain blocks of code based on conditions.

  3. Iteration: This involves repeating a block of code multiple times, usually with a loop structure (like while, for, etc.).

The code snippet you provided uses a while loop to repeatedly print "Carry on playing..." until the timer is no longer greater than 0. Hence, the correct usage in your context is iteration.
