  2. While loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/While_loop

    Control flow. v. t. e. In most computer programming languages, a while loop is a control flow statement that allows code to be executed repeatedly based on a given Boolean condition. The while loop can be thought of as a repeating if statement .

  3. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    To jump ahead k steps on each iteration (using the f function from that section), break up the current number into two parts, b (the k least significant bits, interpreted as an integer), and a (the rest of the bits as an integer). The result of jumping ahead k is given by f k (2 k a + b) = 3 c(b, k) a + d(b, k).

  4. Fold (higher-order function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_(higher-order_function)

    Fold (higher-order function) In functional programming, fold (also termed reduce, accumulate, aggregate, compress, or inject) refers to a family of higher-order functions that analyze a recursive data structure and through use of a given combining operation, recombine the results of recursively processing its constituent parts, building up a ...

  5. Reverse-delete algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse-delete_algorithm

    The algorithm can be shown to run in O(E log V (log log V) 3) time (using big-O notation), where E is the number of edges and V is the number of vertices. This bound is achieved as follows: Sorting the edges by weight using a comparison sort takes O(E log E) time, which can be simplified to O(E log V) using the fact that the largest E can be is ...

  6. Control flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_flow

    If while is omitted, we get an infinite loop. The construction here can be thought of as a do loop with the while check in the middle. Hence this single construction can replace several constructions in most programming languages. Languages lacking this construct generally emulate it using an equivalent infinite-loop-with-break idiom: while ...

  7. Control-flow graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control-flow_graph

    (d) an irreducible CFG: a loop with two entry points, e.g. goto into a while or for loop A control-flow graph used by the Rust compiler to perform codegen. In computer science, a control-flow graph (CFG) is a representation, using graph notation, of all paths that might be traversed through a program during its execution.

  8. Do while loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_while_loop

    Control flow. v. t. e. In many computer programming languages, a do while loop is a control flow statement that executes a block of code and then either repeats the block or exits the loop depending on a given boolean condition. The do while construct consists of a process symbol and a condition. First the code within the block is executed.

  9. Recursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion

    Recursion is the process a procedure goes through when one of the steps of the procedure involves invoking the procedure itself. A procedure that goes through recursion is said to be 'recursive'. [3] To understand recursion, one must recognize the distinction between a procedure and the running of a procedure.
