Sometimes within the body of a loop there is a desire to skip the remainder of the loop body and continue with the next iteration of the loop. Some languages provide a statement such as continue (most languages), skip, [8] cycle (Fortran), or next (Perl and Ruby), which will do this. The effect is to prematurely terminate the innermost loop ...
e. In computer science, a for-loop or for loop is a control flow statement for specifying iteration. Specifically, a for-loop functions by running a section of code repeatedly until a certain condition has been satisfied. For-loops have two parts: a header and a body. The header defines the iteration and the body is the code that is executed ...
The correct number of sections for a fence is n − 1 if the fence is a free-standing line segment bounded by a post at each of its ends (e.g., a fence between two passageway gaps), n if the fence forms one complete, free-standing loop (e.g., enclosure accessible by surmounting, such as a boxing ring), or n + 1 if posts do not occur at the ends ...
Loop interchange. In compiler theory, loop interchange is the process of exchanging the order of two iteration variables used by a nested loop. The variable used in the inner loop switches to the outer loop, and vice versa. It is often done to ensure that the elements of a multi-dimensional array are accessed in the order in which they are ...
An iterator allows a consumer to process each element of a collection while isolating the consumer from the internal structure of the collection. [ 2 ] The collection can store elements in any manner while the consumer can access them as a sequence. In object-oriented programming, an iterator class is usually designed in tight coordination with ...
Loop peeling. Loop peeling is a special case of loop splitting which splits any problematic first (or last) few iterations from the loop and performs them outside of the loop body. Suppose a loop was written like this: int p = 10; for (int i=0; i<10; ++i) { y[i] = x[i] + x[p]; p = i; } Notice that p = 10 only for the first iteration, and for ...
The most common deviation from structured programming is early exit from a function or loop. At the level of functions, this is a return statement. At the level of loops, this is a break statement (terminate the loop) or continue statement (terminate the current iteration, proceed with next iteration). In structured programming, these can be ...
Loop perforation. Loop perforation is an approximate computing technique that allows to regularly skip some iterations of a loop. [1] [2] [3] It relies on one parameter: the perforation rate. The perforation rate can be interpreted as the number of iteration to skip each time or the number of iterations to perform before skipping one.
