Rust has the standard loops one might expect, such as a while (conditional) style loop, and a for (counting) loop. As with most modern languages, it also has a for each style loop. A Bad Type of Loop… One thing that is unique however, is that it also includes a built in infinite loop, which…
The Ruby method each allows you to iterate over a list of items. This is essentially a for-each style of loop and is like JavaScript’s each method. Notice that the iterative value is placed inside of two pipe (|) characters. You don’t have to put everything on one line. In fact, you can’t if you have multiple…
A counting loop in Pseudocode is similar to a conditional loop, or how you would define a counting loop in a flowchart. In fact, you can write a conditional loop to solve a counting loop in pseudocode. While a conditional loop is designed to do something while a condition is met, a counting loop is…
Often, when programming, we need to perform a series of steps multiple times. For example, think of all of the steps you need to do to walk. You have to lift your foot off the ground. You have to balance yourself on the one foot that is on the ground. You have to extend your…
We’ve seen the break in a switch statement. It stops running the blocks of code, and simple exits out of the switch. In the same manner, if you use a break in a loop, it exits us from the loop prematurely (not by the loop condition). The continue keyword moves us to the end of…
