How does loop work?

In programming, a loop works by conditionally jumping to the start of the loop and repeating the instructions. If the condition evaluates false, execution continues to the next instruction, thus breaking out of the loop. We can also break out of a loop from within the body of the loop itself using another conditional jump which jumps out of the loop. If we jump backwards out of a loop we effectively create an intertwined loop, known as spaghetti code which is difficult to read and maintain. Structured loops help make it easier to digest the logic. In C, a jump is achieved using a goto and a label. However, structured loops using for, while and do-while statements make loops much easier to read and maintain.

They work by using the kinetic energy from gravity to force the cars into the loop, much like a regular loop.

Why does a generator work?

When a conductive loop is moved through a magnetic field, an electric current is produced in the wire loop. This is the basis of electrical generators.


How does a FOR loop work in GML?

FOR loops work as follows:{for( [initialize a variable]; [expression]; [increment the variable] ) {//Do this code}}Here as an example of a FOR loop:{for(i = 1; i < 10; i += 1) {show_message(string(i));}}What this will do is show a message 10 times displaying the value of "i" so you would get a message that says "1," another one after that saying "2," etc... The way this works is that you have the variable "i" initialized in the FOR loop. The FOR loop will keep looping until i >= 10, because the middle statement dictates that i must be smaller than 10 for the FOR loop activate. The third statement in the for loop is the statement that you increment the i variable with. If you change i += 1 to i -= 1 then the FOR loop would go on forever, freezing the game. This is a critical mistake to make when constructing a FOR loop (as is with any loop.)

How do you thyroid and parathyroid form a feedback loop?

The thyroid is in charge of metabolism, the parathyroid is in charge of what amount the thyroid regulates. If either of the two are out of sorts the feedback loop wont work.


What is a nested loop in java?

A nested loop is a (inner) loop that appears in the loop body of another (outer) loop. The inner or outer loop can be any type: while, do while, or for. For example, the inner loop can be a while loop while an outer loop can be a for loop.


What is feedback loop and how does it work?

A feedback loop is a mechanism that is used to maintain homeostasis. In layman's terms, it is a checks and balances system within the body to keep hormone levels even.


How do you determine the work done in a ferromagnet in going round a hysteresis loop?

When a hysteresis loop is plotted on a graph ( X: Current, Y: Magnetic Field Strength ) for the core of any substance, the area covered by the loop (on both sides of the x-axis) will give the total energy involved or work done in one cycle of magnetisation and demagnetisation.

How to make magnetic power?

A note about terminology - magnetic energy is the energy stored in a magnetic field. I have never heard of magnetic power. However, I assume you are asking how to get electrical power from magnetic phenomena. The way this works is directly from maxwell's equations. Faraday's law says that the rate of change of flux through a loop (field through loop times area of loop) is proportional to the electric field around that loop, which is proportional to the current, if the loop is a conductor. The generator works by spinning a permanent magnet near a loop of wire. As the magnet spins, it induces current in the loop of wire, which can then be made to do useful work. A note about energy conservation: when the current in the loop is induced, it is always in such a way as to attract the spinning magnet, so the external agent has to do work to resist this.

Which pair of loops causes a statement or set of statements to repeat as long as a condition is true?

A while loop repeats until the condition becomes false, and may never execute: int a = 4; while (a &gt; 5) { //Do something } or int a = 4; while (a &gt; 0) { //Do something a--; }
