Abstract
In this paper the implementation of loops in PFL - a process functional pro gramming language is presented. The uniform conception of functions and pro cesses in PFL makes possible to implement loops in a way similar to list co mprehensions. Using process functional paradigm we will show, how the imper ative loops are expressed more concisely in a purely functional manner pres erving the run-time efficiency.
