 The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]


loop
     
        <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, while
        loop or repeat loop constructs.
     
        In other languages these constructs may be synthesised with a
        jump (assembly language) or a GOTO (early Fortran or
        BASIC).
