programming concept

Iterating refers to the process of repeatedly executing a set of instructions or a block of code, typically in programming. This occurs in a loop where an action is performed for each element within a collection, such as an array or list. The purpose of iterating is to process each item according to the logic defined within the loop structure. This can be useful for tasks such as searching, sorting, or transforming data. Iteration helps automate repetitive tasks efficiently.

Synonyms

cycling, looping, repeating.

Examples of usage

  • Iterating through an array to find the maximum value.
  • The software requires iterating over each customer's data.
  • We are iterating through the items in the list.
  • The algorithm is iterating until the desired condition is met.

Etymology

The word 'iterate' comes from the Latin word 'iterare', which means to repeat. This Latin root is derived from 'itus', the past participle of 'ire', which means 'to go'. The use of the term began to gain traction in the context of mathematics and computer science during the 20th century, particularly as programming languages developed and became more complex. The concept emphasizes the importance of repetition in both mathematical functions and algorithmic processes. In programming, iterations allow developers to process data collections and automate repetitive tasks efficiently. Today, the idea of iteration is central to many programming paradigms.
