When creating these types of loops, it is important to remember that:

If no Return is specified, then the value returned is null. Then, it exits the loop after finding the first specific value.

Return statement- can return a specific value calculated by the loop.

Continue statement- the loop exits the evaluation of the body and continues by computing the increment, incr.

Let’s provide details about the body of the loop. The next lines of code after the loop will be processed by Mathematica. Otherwise, if the condition is false, then the body is not evaluated and the loop will exit out. In addition to this, it contains a body of statements.įor – executes start, then repeatedly evaluates the body and incr until the condition becomes false.Īs long as the condition is true, then the body will be executed again and again.

It consists of the for statement (which evaluates a condition with a start value and an increment, incr).

while loops (discussed in more detail in while loop Mathematica post).

do loops (for do loop information, you can read the article about do loops in Mathematica) a do loop is logically similar to a for loop.

There are 5 kinds of loops in Mathematica:
