Dictionary

loop

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).
