(foldoc) | loop
loop through
A sequence of instructions in a program that
the processor repeats. The loop will usually terminate when
some condition is met or it may run indefinitely - an
infinite loop.
Structured languages like C and its descendents provide
loop statements and keywords for some or all of {for
loop}, while loop and repeat loop. See also
loop-and-a-half.
In other languages these constructs may be synthesised with a
jump (assembly language) or a GOTO (early Fortran or
BASIC).
To "loop through" a list means to process each element in turn.

infinite loop
(gcide) | infinite loop \infinite loop\ n.
1. (Computers) a series of instructions in a computer program
which, when executed, cause a cyclic repetition of the
same instructions, with no other action by the program,
for as long as the program continues to be executed, or
the loop is interrupted by some external action.
[PJC]
Note: An infinite loop is rarely written intentionally except
in cases where the loop is intended merely as a waiting
sequence, to be interrupted by some action of the user.
It is more commonly the result of a serious logical
error on the part of the programmer, resulting in a
failure of the program. Its execution can be halted
only by halting execution of the program, e.g. by
intervention of the operating system or by halting or
resetting the computer. In single-user systems, when
executing an infinite loop, the computer will appear to
halt operation of the program, and the program will be
unresponsive to normal keyboard input, though it may be
interrupted by an unmasked interrupt.

Sloop
(gcide) | Sloop \Sloop\, n.[D. sloep, of uncertain origin. Cf. Shallop.]
1. (Naut.) A vessel having one mast and fore-and-aft rig,
consisting of a boom-and-gaff mainsail, jibs, staysail,
and gaff topsail. The typical sloop has a fixed bowsprit,
topmast, and standing rigging, while those of a cutter are
capable of being readily shifted. The sloop usually
carries a centerboard, and depends for stability upon
breadth of beam rather than depth of keel. The two types
have rapidly approximated since 1880. One radical
distinction is that a sloop may carry a centerboard. See
Cutter, and Illustration in Appendix.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Naut.) In modern usage, a sailing vessel having one mast,
commonly with a Bermuda rig, with either a center-board or
a keel. In the United States, a sloop may have one or two
headsails, while in Western Europe and Great Britain a
sloop has only one headsail.
