v. t. 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 ...
For loop. Foreach loop. Infinite loop. Control flow. v. t. e. In most computer programming languages, a while loop is a control flow statement that allows code to be executed repeatedly based on a given Boolean condition. The while loop can be thought of as a repeating if statement.
LOOP is a simple register language that precisely captures the primitive recursive functions. [1] The language is derived from the counter-machine model.Like the counter machines the LOOP language comprises a set of one or more unbounded registers, each of which can hold a single non-negative integer.
Infinite loop. Control flow. v. t. e. In computer programming, an infinite loop (or endless loop) [1][2] is a sequence of instructions that, as written, will continue endlessly, unless an external intervention occurs, such as turning off power via a switch or pulling a plug. It may be intentional.
Iterator. In computer programming, an iterator is an object that progressively provides access to each item of a collection, in order. [1][2][3] A collection may provide multiple iterators via its interface that provide items in different orders, such as forwards and backwards. An iterator is often implemented in terms of the structure ...
t. e. In computer programming, foreach loop (or for-each loop) is a control flow statement for traversing items in a collection. foreach is usually used in place of a standard for loop statement. Unlike other for loop constructs, however, foreach loops [ 1 ] usually maintain no explicit counter: they essentially say "do this to everything in ...
v. t. e. A branch, jump or transfer is an instruction in a computer program that can cause a computer to begin executing a different instruction sequence and thus deviate from its default behavior of executing instructions in order. [a] Branch (or branching, branched) may also refer to the act of switching execution to a different instruction ...
Recursion is a technique for representing data whose exact size is unknown to the programmer: the programmer can specify this data with a self-referentialdefinition. There are two types of self-referential definitions: inductive and coinductivedefinitions. Further information: Algebraic data type.
