In common usage, iteration is literally repetition, based on achieving an objective. It can mean stating something in a series of repetitions, or repeating a performance. Iteration can also involve a series of repetitions in a progression of actions.
In computer language usage, iteration follows the grammatical context, referring to a process of repeated steps, but it's used as a single instruction. The iteration contains the instructions for repeating the steps in the execution of the instruction. |
