Forced termination of loops
R. Geoff Dromey · Software Practice and Experience · 1985
Abstract Loops must often be forced to terminate early. Solutions to such problems are usually either language‐dependent or rather clumsy. A practical alternative is presented. The accompanying methodology clarifies the role of the finalization mechanism in loop construction. It also leads to the idea of control‐structure independence in the context of data representation and forced termination.
