Concept: use order and number of elements of some data structure to control iteration

Two strategies:

  • "Passive" iterator: provide a set of functions for a data structure that the user can use to construct a loop using while, for, etc.
  • "Active" iterator: encapsulate the loop control in an operation, and only allow the user to provide the loop body; in other words, provide a "functional form" or a template operation for the entire loop

What statement is used to skip the remainder of the body of a repetition structure and proceed with the next iteration of the loop?

The continue statement skips the remaining statements in the current iteration and execution proceeds with the iteration control statement for the next iteration.


Each repetition of a loop is known as a?

an iteration.


Does stepwise refinement correspond to iteration and incrementation?

yes


Which Loop avoids check at every iteration?

All loops available in Java (for, while, do-while) have a loop termination condition that would get executed during every iteration of the loop. Without checking the loop condition the loop cannot be terminated and hence avoiding the loop condition check during iteration is not logic and Java does not do it.


What is non touching loop?

A non touching loop is where each iteration does not access data from a different iteration. An optimizing compiler/interpreter can detect this, and spread out the loop between different threads, potentially (with multiple processors) running the loop faster. An example of a non touching loop is the addition of two arrays. Each iteration accesses one element, and has no dependencies on elements accessed in different iterations. An example of a touching loop is the summation of elements in an array. Each iteration depends on the result of a different, usually the prior, iteration. Even there, however, the optimization process can spread the work out amongst different threads so long as there are synchronization mechanisms in place.

What are two types of iteration?

Two types of iteration are definite iteration (where the number of iterations is known in advance, such as using a for loop) and indefinite iteration (where the iteration continues until a certain condition is met, such as using a while loop).

The two types of iteration are definite iteration, where the number of repetitions is known before the loop starts, and indefinite iteration, where the loop continues until a certain condition is met.

What is a do-while loop?

A while loop evaluates the conditional expression at the start of each iteration, whereas a do..while loop evaluates the conditional expression at the end of each iteration. Thus the do..while loop always executes at least one iteration.
