To repeat a process or rule over and over In the Explorer, the process that is repeated is the rule x --> x2 + c for some constant c That is, starting with the seed x0, we compute in order
XP teams work to the regular milestones that occur at the end of every iteration An iterations usually lasts two or three weeks and starts with a planning meeting The customer selects a number of stories for each iteration according to Yesterday's Weather
A loop that uses the current value of a system to derive its future value by re-inserting it into the equations controlling the system dynamics Feedback The linking of Effect back to Cause
doing or saying again; a repeated performance (computer science) executing the same set of instructions a given number of times or until a specified result is obtained; "the solution is obtained by iteration"
The mechanism for repeatedly performing a series of actions Common Lisp provides a number of constructions for performing iteration, as well as support for recursion
(computer science) executing the same set of instructions a given number of times or until a specified result is obtained; "the solution is obtained by iteration"
A single round of data processing During iterative data processing, a loop of instructions is executed in a repetitive manner until some threshold is reached
What makes computers so powerful is that they can do similar tasks repeatedly, very quickly When a computer is told to follow a given set of instructions n number of times, it is said to "iterate" See also recursion
The repetition of a process of calculation again and again, each time improving the accuracy of the result For an example of iteration (with "Kepler's Equation") see here
Systematic, goal-directed, trial and error procedure in design The process may occasionally converge to an ideal design solution (all objectives and constraints met), but in general some compromises are required (see Satisficing) Examples
