loop through
From S23Wiki
 | This is the JargonFile (V4.00) entry for loop through - Next: loose bytes, Prev: logical |
| :loop through: /vt./ To process each element of a list of things. "Hold on, Ive got to loop through my paper mail." Derives from the computer-language notion of an iterative loop; compare cdr down (under cdr), which is less common among C and Unix programmers. ITS hackers used to say IRP over after an obscure pseudo-op in the MIDAS PDP-10 assembler (the same IRP op can nowadays be found in Microsofts assembler). | |
