[6] : The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03)

loop
     
         a sequence of instructions that the
        processor repeats, either until some condition is met, or
        indefinitely.
     
        in an structured language e.g. c, pascal, basic, or
        fortran, a loop is usually achieved with for loop, while
        loop or repeat loop constructs.
     
        in other languages these constructs may be synthesised with a
        jump assembly language or a goto early fortran or
        basic.
