About the webinar

Loops are used to efficiently perform an action multiple times. In this webinar we will examine the options available on a data step loop and compare this with loops in SAS macro language. We also look at a way to efficiently evaluate multiple factors as a single item by using a binary mask, and discuss an implementation of FizzBuzz in the data step, and possible refinements.

What you’ll learn:

  • Data step and macro loops
  • Binary masks
  • FizzBuzz
