===Racket=== {{Further|Racket (programming language)}} In Racket, as in other [[Scheme (programming language)|Scheme]] implementations, a "named-let" is a popular way to implement loops: <syntaxhighlight lang="racket"> #lang racket (define counter 5) (define factorial 1) (let loop () (set! factorial (* factorial counter)) (set! counter (sub1 counter)) (when (> counter 0) (loop))) (displayln factorial) </syntaxhighlight> Compare this with the first example of the [[While loop#Racket|while loop]] example for Racket. Be aware that a named let can also take arguments. Racket and Scheme also provide a proper do loop. <syntaxhighlight lang="scheme"> (define (factorial n) (do ((counter n (- counter 1)) (result 1 (* result counter))) ((= counter 0) result) ; Stop condition and return value. ; The body of the do-loop is empty. )) </syntaxhighlight>
