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 ...
However a while loop will test the condition before the code within the block is executed. This means that the code is always executed first and then the expression or test condition is evaluated. This process is repeated as long as the expression evaluates to true. If the expression is false the loop terminates. A while loop sets the truth of ...
In the C programming language, Duff's device is a way of manually implementing loop unrolling by interleaving two syntactic constructs of C: the do-while loop and a switch statement. Its discovery is credited to Tom Duff in November 1983, when Duff was working for Lucasfilm and used it to speed up a real-time animation program.
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 ...
The following is a C-style While loop.It continues looping while x does not equal 3, or in other words it only stops looping when x equals 3.However, since x is initialized to 0 and the value of x is never changed in the loop, the loop will never end (infinite loop).
COBOL: String constants may be continued by not ending the original string in a PICTURE clause with ', then inserting a -in column 7 (same position as the * for comment is used.) TUTOR : Lines starting with a tab (after any indentation required by the context) continue the prior command.
Andreya Triana’s “Beautiful People” gave a happy soundtrack while celebrating some real GM faces in the factories. “Beautiful World. Beautiful People.”
Comments are provided at lines 3, 6, 9, 11, and 13. Each comment makes an assertion about the values of one or more variables at that stage of the function. The highlighted assertions within the loop body, at the beginning and end of the loop (lines 6 and 11), are exactly the same. They thus describe an invariant property of the loop.
