  2. Infinite loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_loop

    This makes part of the data structure into a ring, causing naive code to loop forever. While most infinite loops can be found by close inspection of the code, there is no general method to determine whether a given program will ever halt or will run forever; this is the undecidability of the halting problem.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Off-by-one error - Wikipedia

    The correct number of sections for a fence is n − 1 if the fence is a free-standing line segment bounded by a post at each of its ends (e.g., a fence between two passageway gaps), n if the fence forms one complete, free-standing loop (e.g., enclosure accessible by surmounting, such as a boxing ring), or n + 1 if posts do not occur at the ends ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Conditional loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_loop

    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).

  7. Do while loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_while_loop

    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 ...

  8. Busy waiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_waiting

    Other processes can use the CPU while the caller is blocked. The scheduler is given the information needed to implement priority inheritance or other mechanisms to avoid starvation. Busy-waiting itself can be made much less wasteful by using a delay function (e.g., sleep()) found in most operating systems. This puts a thread to sleep for a ...
