Iterate / Increment

 

iterate (code): repeating a set of commands, as in a loop

 

iterate (process): revisiting an existing piece of your program and making it more efficient and/or readable

 

 

increment (code): increasing a value by a regular amount each time

example: assigning result = result + 1 within a loop

 

increment (process): developing one small piece of a program at a time, testing it, and then adding on more pieces, always testing along the way
