iteration| In computing, a method of solving a problem by performing the same steps repeatedly until a certain condition is satisfied. For example, in one method of sorting, adjacent items are repeatedly exchanged until the data are in the required sequence. |
iteration| In mathematics, method of solving equations by a series of approximations which approach the exact solution more and more closely. For example, to find the square root of N, start with a guess n1; calculate |
| The sequence n1, n2, n3 approaches the exact square root of N. Iterative methods are particularly suitable for work with computers and programmable calculators. |
