  2. Pseudocode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudocode

    Pseudocode is commonly used in textbooks and scientific publications related to computer science and numerical computation to describe algorithms in a way that is accessible to programmers regardless of their familiarity with specific programming languages.

  3. Do while loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_while_loop

    In many computer programming languages, a do while loop is a control flow statement that executes a block of code and then either repeats the block or exits the loop depending on a given boolean condition. The do while construct consists of a process symbol and a condition. First the code within the block is executed.

  4. While loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/While_loop

    first checks whether x is less than 5, which it is, so then the {loop body} is entered, where the printf function is run and x is incremented by 1. After completing all the statements in the loop body, the condition, (x < 5), is checked again, and the loop is executed again, this process repeating until the variable x has the value 5.

  5. Control flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_flow

    If xxx1 is omitted, we get a loop with the test at the top (a traditional while loop). If xxx2 is omitted, we get a loop with the test at the bottom, equivalent to a do while loop in many languages. If while is omitted, we get an infinite loop. The construction here can be thought of as a do loop with the while check in the middle. Hence this ...

  6. Dekker's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dekker's_algorithm

    Dekker's algorithm is the first known correct solution to the mutual exclusion problem in concurrent programming where processes only communicate via shared memory. The solution is attributed to Dutch mathematician Th. J. Dekker by Edsger W. Dijkstra in an unpublished paper on sequential process descriptions [1] and his manuscript on cooperating sequential processes. [2]

    the outer while loop is entered. op is * (precedence 2) and the input is advanced; rhs is 4; the next token is +, with precedence 1. the inner while loop is not entered. lhs is assigned 3*4 = 12; the next token is +, with precedence 1. the outer while loop is left. 12 is returned. the lookahead token is +, with precedence 1. the inner while ...

  8. Foreach loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreach_loop

    Unlike other for loop constructs, however, foreach loops [1] usually maintain no explicit counter: they essentially say "do this to everything in this set", rather than "do this x times". This avoids potential off-by-one errors and makes code simpler to read.

  9. Infinite loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_loop

    This makes part of the data structure into a ring, causing naive code to loop forever. While most infinite loops can be found by close inspection of the code, there is no general method to determine whether a given program will ever halt or will run forever; this is the undecidability of the halting problem.
