controlwhile
Controlwhile is a term used in programming education to describe an enhanced control-flow construct that extends the traditional while loop. It is presented as a way to give a program more explicit control over when looping continues, by incorporating multiple conditions and internal state changes that can influence the continuation predicate.
Semantics of controlwhile center on the idea that the loop’s continuation is governed by a defined set
Syntax and variants are described in teaching materials as a form such as controlwhile (C1, C2, …,
Illustrative examples are typically shown in pseudocode, for instance: controlwhile (not_done && not_error) { process(item); if (needs_skip(item)) adjust_state();
In practice, controlwhile is not a standard language feature in mainstream languages; it appears in textbooks,
