Iteration

Iteration means a 'step'.

Each 'iteration' of something means changing by one step.

In computer programming 'iteration' is used to loop around and around a piece of code until a condition is met that ends the iteration.

For example:

FOR X=1 TO 10

PRINT DOCUMENT

NEXT

The computer code above will increase X by 1 with every iteration. On each iteration a document is printed. When X reaches 10, the iteration stops.
