  2. Nested function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_function

    Nested functions can be used for unstructured control flow, by using the return statement for general unstructured control flow.This can be used for finer-grained control than is possible with other built-in features of the language – for example, it can allow early termination of a for loop if break is not available, or early termination of a nested for loop if a multi-level break or ...

  3. Control flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_flow

    The else clause in the above example is linked to the for statement, and not the inner if statement. Both Python's for and while loops support such an else clause, which is executed only if early exit of the loop has not occurred. Some languages support breaking out of nested loops; in theory circles, these are called multi-level breaks.

  4. For loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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. Fortran also allows the EXIT and CYCLE statements to name this text; in a nest of loops, this makes clear which loop is intended.

  5. Inner loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_loop

    Two examples below written in python present a while loop with an inner for loop and a while loop without any inner loop. Although both have the same terminating condition for their while loops, the first example will finish faster because of the inner for loop. The variable innermax is a fraction of the maxticketno variable in the first ...

  6. Nesting (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nesting_(computing)

    nested blocks of imperative source code such as nested if-clauses, while-clauses, repeat-until clauses etc. information hiding: nested function definitions with lexical scope; nested data structures such as records, objects, classes, etc. nested virtualization, also called recursive virtualization: running a virtual machine inside another ...

  7. Duff's device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duff's_device

    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.

  8. LOOP (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOOP_(programming_language)

    /* precondition: x 2 = 0 */ LOOP x 1 DO x 0 := 0; LOOP x 2 DO x 0 := x 0 + 1 END; x 2 := x 2 + 1 END. This program can be used as a subroutine in other LOOP programs. The LOOP syntax can be extended with the following statement, equivalent to calling the above as a subroutine: x 0 := x 1 ∸ 1 Remark: Again one has to mind the side effects.

  9. C syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_syntax

    A snippet of C code which prints "Hello, World!". The syntax of the C programming language is the set of rules governing writing of software in C. It is designed to allow for programs that are extremely terse, have a close relationship with the resulting object code, and yet provide relatively high-level data abstraction.
