loop

Jump to user comments

programming A sequence of instructions that the

processor repeats, either until some condition is met, or

indefinitely.

In an structured language (e.g. C, Pascal, BASIC, or

Fortran), a loop is usually achieved with for loop, whileloop or repeat loop constructs.

In other languages these constructs may be synthesised with a

jump (assembly language) or a GOTO (early Fortran or

BASIC).
