bucle

loop

noun BOO-kleh Rare
Communication Technology

Origin: From French boucle (buckle, loop), itself from Latin buccula.

Also means

curl

Usage Note

Bucle covers both a programming loop (an iteration construct) and a physical loop or curl shape. In computing, un bucle infinito ('an infinite loop') is a common phrase. For hair curls, rizo is more common in everyday speech; bucle in this sense tends to appear in literary or descriptive contexts.

Examples

"El programa entró en un bucle infinito."

Natural Translation

The program entered an infinite loop.
