with, - While iterating with

- Forms evaluation before the iteration with
initially, - Conditional clauses for termination,
- Clauses for evaluating forms with some having specific actions,
- Forms evaluation after the iteration with
finally
There are great libraries for doing iterations like SERIES and iterate
