Iterative algorithms are traditionally expressed in ACL2 using recursion. On the other hand, Common Lisp provides a construct, loop, which — like most programming languages — provides direct support for iteration. We describe an ACL2 analogue loop$ of loop that supports efficient ACL2 programming and reasoning with iteration.
