The article Loop-and-a-half has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
The topic is valuable, but the loop and a half is not a recognized term of art. Knuth doesn't use these words. McConnell doesn't use these words. Astrachan does, but does not claim it as a definition. The topic is worth a mention in a structured programming class or in While loop, an article worthy of improvement. A loop and a half is merely an incarnation of a while loop with exit in the middle. The term doesn't even appear in the Free online dictionary of computing. One mention does not make a new definition. The original editor agrees.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
