Creating a simple IVR Menu

I'm an asterisk newbie to asterisk and i'm yet to fully understand the demo menu below. I have an overview but i'm not quite clear on the s's and the n's, the 1's, 2's. The basic functions like playback, goto etc, are quite clear. But not how n(loop) affects the menu. Any help to clarify this would be appreciated. 

[demo-menu]
exten => s,1,Answer(500)
   same => n(loop),Background(press-1&or&press-2)
   same => n,WaitExten()

exten => 1,1,Playback(you-entered)
   same => n,SayNumber(1)
   same => n,Goto(s,loop)

exten => 2,1,Playback(you-entered)
   same => n,SayNumber(2)
   same => n,Goto(s,loop)

Description

same => n(loop),Background(press-1&or&press-2)

"Same" here is "exten => s", "n" is next-pririty, "(loop)" is label for goto.

I recommend you read "Asterisk the future of telephony" O'Relly's book.
