generator

Usage

for x in a repeat { ...}
for x in generator a repeat { ...}

Signature

generator:

% $\to$ Generator T

Parameter	Type	Description
a	%	a finite data structure

Description

This function allows a structure to be iterated independently of its representation. This generator yields the elements of a in some order, which is determined by the actual type.

Example

The following code computes the sum of all the elements of an array of machine integers:

sum(a:Array MachineInteger, n:MachineInteger):MachineInteger == {
    s:MachineInteger := 0;
    for x in a repeat s := s + x;
    s;
}
