  2. true and false (commands) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_and_false_(commands)

    The true command is sometimes substituted with the very similar null command, [1] written as a single colon (:). The null command is built into the shell, and may therefore be more efficient if true is an external program (true is usually a shell built in function). We can rewrite the upper example using : instead of true:

    For example, the variable *read-base* controls in which base numbers are read by default. Variables to control the printer. Example: maximum length or maximum depth of expressions to print. Additional command syntax. Some REPLs have commands that follow not the s-expression syntax, but often work with Lisp data as arguments. Graphical REPLs.

  7. NOP (code) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOP_(code)

    Many computer protocols, such as telnet, include a NOP command that a client can issue to request a response from the server without requesting any other actions. Such a command can be used to ensure the connection is still alive or that the server is responsive. A NOOP command is part of the following protocols (this is a partial list): telnet ...

  8. For loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_loop

    The end-loop marker specifies the name of the index variable, which must correspond to the name of the index variable at the start of the for-loop. Some languages (PL/I, Fortran 95, and later) allow a statement label at the start of a for-loop that can be matched by the compiler against the same text on the corresponding end-loop statement.

  9. While loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/While_loop

    The repeat statement repetitively executes a block of one or more statements through an until statement and continues repeating unless the condition is false. The main difference between the two is the while loop may execute zero times if the condition is initially false, the repeat-until loop always executes at least once.
