iteration counter
1Iteration — It er*a tion, n. [L. iteratio.] 1. Recital or performance a second time; repetition. Bacon. [1913 Webster] What needs this iteration, woman? Shak. [1913 Webster] 2. (Computers) The execution of a statement or series of statements in a loop which… …
2Loop counter — In software engineering, a loop counter is the term often used to refer to the variable that controls the iterations of a loop (a computer programming language construct). It is so named because most uses of this construct result in the variable… …

4Cross-entropy method — The cross entropy (CE) method attributed to Reuven Rubinstein is a general Monte Carlo approach to combinatorial and continuous multi extremal optimization and importance sampling. The method originated from the field of rare event simulation,… …
5Line search — In (unconstrained) optimization, the line search strategy is one of two basic iterative approaches to finding a local minimum mathbf{x}^* of an objective function f:mathbb R^n omathbb R. The other method is that of trust regions.… …
6Backtracking line search — In (unconstrained) optimization, the backtracking linesearch strategy is used as part of a linesearch method, to compute how far one should move along a given search direction.MotivationUsually it is undesirable to exactly minimize the function… …
7For loop — In computer science a for loop is a programming language statement which allows code to be repeatedly executed. A for loop is classified as an iteration statement.Unlike many other kinds of loops, such as the while loop, the for loop is often… …
8Iterator — In computer science, an iterator is an object which allows a programmer to traverse through all the elements of a collection, regardless of its specific implementation. An iterator is sometimes called a cursor, especially within the context of a… …
9Control flow — Not to be confused with Flow control. In computer science, control flow (or alternatively, flow of control) refers to the order in which the individual statements, instructions, or function calls of an imperative or a declarative program are… …
10Generator (computer science) — In computer science, a generator is a special routine that can be used to control the iteration behaviour of a loop. A generator is very similar to a function that returns an array, in that a generator has parameters, can be called, and generates …
