Beginners Guide to R – R Repeat Loop

R Repeat Loop

A repeat loop just repeats a block of code indefinitely. In this loop, no condition checking is performed in order to end the loop.

To stop repeating the loop, you must put a condition explicitly inside it with break statement. Failing to do so will create an infinite/endless loop.

Syntax

Here’s the syntax of the repeat loop:

Examples

A repeat loop without a break statement results into an infinite/endless loop.

# infinite loop
repeat {
  print("Press Esc to stop me!")
}
[1] "Press Esc to stop me!"
[1] "Press Esc to stop me!"
...
...

However, you can put a condition explicitly inside the body of the loop and use the break statement to exit the loop.

# Iterate until x becomes 5
x <- 1
repeat {
  print(x)
  if (x > 4)
    break
  x <- x + 1
}
[1] 1
[1] 2
[1] 3
[1] 4
[1] 5

Two Machine Learning Fields

There are two sides to machine learning:

  • Practical Machine Learning:This is about querying databases, cleaning data, writing scripts to transform data and gluing algorithm and libraries together and writing custom code to squeeze reliable answers from data to satisfy difficult and ill defined questions. It’s the mess of reality.
  • Theoretical Machine Learning: This is about math and abstraction and idealized scenarios and limits and beauty and informing what is possible. It is a whole lot neater and cleaner and removed from the mess of reality.
