| 6 Iteration 6.1 The LOOP Facility 6.1.1 Overview of the Loop Facility 6.1.1.5 Summary of Loop Clauses ### 6.1.1.5.2 Summary of Value Accumulation Clauses The `collect` (or `collecting`) construct takes one form in its clause and adds the value of that form to the end of a list of values. By default, the list of values is returned when the loop finishes. The `append` (or `appending`) construct takes one form in its clause and appends the value of that form to the end of a list of values. By default, the list of values is returned when the loop finishes. The `nconc` (or `nconcing`) construct is similar to the `append` construct, but its list values are concatenated as if by the function `nconc`. By default, the list of values is returned when the loop finishes. The `sum` (or `summing`) construct takes one form in its clause that must evaluate to a number and accumulates the sum of all these numbers. By default, the cumulative sum is returned when the loop finishes. The `count` (or `counting`) construct takes one form in its clause and counts the number of times that the form evaluates to true. By default, the count is returned when the loop finishes. The `minimize` (or `minimizing`) construct takes one form in its clause and determines the minimum value obtained by evaluating that form. By default, the minimum value is returned when the loop finishes. The `maximize` (or `maximizing`) construct takes one form in its clause and determines the maximum value obtained by evaluating that form. By default, the maximum value is returned when the loop finishes. For more information, see Section 6.1.3 Value Accumulation Clauses.
