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).
