would suggest you to read CURSORS chapter of pl/sql programming.

1)open c_category
this stmt will open pre declared cursor
2) loop

this is loop stmt

3) fetch c_catergory into var_car_id, var catergory;

3rd stmt fetch values into local variables from opened cursor

4)exit when (c_categrory%not found);

this stmt tells pl/sql ,exit loop when it reaches last record
