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…
Just like with flowcharts where you can repeat a series of steps, you can repeat a series of steps in pseudocode. And just like with Flowcharts, we have two main types of repetition, conditional loops and counting loops. In this example we are going to work with conditional loops. Setting the Condition First we need…
Working with a flowchart can help you describe how you want to solve a problem, and as we’ve said before, it doesn’t even have to be a coding problem. This is the power of the flowchart. However, up until now, we’ve looked at flowcharts as individual components. We perform a series of steps. We make…
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…
The for loop is the counting loop of C++. It is usually designed to run a specific number of times, and then end. With it, it keeps a counter, to let you know where in the loop you are – useful when looping through an array which will look at soon enough. The general form…
If you go through Amazon, or a book store and find their art and design section, you can find lots of books on design. Some may have 6, 8, or even a dozen different design principles. Most of those books are designed for designers, who are looking to making something look nice. I want to…
