   iteration
   (programming) Repetition of a sequence of instructions. A fundamental part of many algorithms. Iteration is characterised by a set of initial conditions, an iterative step and a termination condition. A well known example of iteration in mathematics is Newton-Raphson iteration. Iteration in programs is expressed using loops, e.g. in C: new_x = ...

   Iteration
   Definition (keystage 3) To iterate is to perform the same procedure over and over again. Sometimes we can solve equations approximately by iteration, for example: <br /> x 2 + x = 5 ⇒ x = 5 - x , so, let x n = 5 - x n - 1 <br /> Then, if we take as our first guess x 0 = 1 , we get: <br /> x 1 = 2 x 2 = 1 . 7320508 x 3 = 1 . ...
