  2. While loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/While_loop

    Pascal has two forms of the while loop, while and repeat. While repeats one statement (unless enclosed in a begin-end block) as long as the condition is true. 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 ...

  3. Infinite loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_loop

    Infinite loops can be implemented using various control flow constructs. Most commonly, in unstructured programming this is jump back up , while in structured programming this is an indefinite loop (while loop) set to never end, either by omitting the condition or explicitly setting it to true, as while (true) ....

  4. 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 ...

  5. Do while loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_while_loop

    When an infinite loop is created intentionally there is usually another control structure that allows termination of the loop. For example, a break statement would allow termination of an infinite loop. Some languages may use a different naming convention for this type of loop. For example, the Pascal and Lua languages have a "repeat until ...

  6. For loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_loop

    Fortran's equivalent of the for loop is the DO loop, using the keyword do instead of for, The syntax of Fortran's DO loop is: DO label counter = first , last , step statements label statement The following two examples behave equivalently to the three argument for-loop in other languages, initializing the counter variable to 1, incrementing by ...

  7. Generator (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_(computer...

    For example, a ranged loop like for x = 1 to 10 can be implemented as iteration through a generator, as in Python's for x in range(1, 10). Further, break can be implemented as sending finish to the generator and then using continue in the loop.

  8. Conditional loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_loop

    However, infinite loops can sometimes be used purposely, often with an exit from the loop built into the loop implementation for every computer language, but many share the same basic structure and/or concept. The While loop and the For loop are the two most common types of conditional loops in most programming languages.

  9. Goto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goto

    Loops using while, repeat until or do, and for statements; switch a.k.a. case statements, a form of multiway branching; These new language mechanisms replaced equivalent flows which previously would have been written using gotos and ifs. Multi-way branching replaces the "computed goto" in which the instruction to jump to is determined ...
