- A sequence of statements which is specified once but which may be carried out several times in succession. The code “inside” the loop (the body of the loop) is obeyed a specified number of times, or once for each of a collection of items, or until some condition is met, or indefinitely. In functional programming languages loops can be expressed by using recursion or fixed point iteration rather than explicit looping constructs. Examples for loops include
for loops, while and do while loops, foreach, and infinite loops. ← Wikipedia
