algorithmic
I want to write something like
\Repeat {comment}
\State
\until
The code:
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{algorithm}
\usepackage{algorithmic}
\begin{document}
\begin{algorithm}[H]
\begin{spacing}{1.2}
\begin{algorithmic}
\STATE Initialize
\REPEAT (for each episode)
\UNTIL $s_t$ is terminal
\end{algorithmic}
\end{spacing}
\end{algorithm}
\end{document}
But I can not put the comment on the same line of the repeat command.
Could you help me?
Thanks.
Benoit Guillon's Algorithm-Style Package for LyX was written in the year 2001. It makes the LaTeX package algorithmic available to LyX in an interesting form. For writing algorithms, the potential of nested lists is used. (Because at that time LyX modules were not available there is the requirement of using a certain document class. But this could be revised...)
Now, how to print two algorithms side-by-side in a LaTeX document is shown in Diego’s CS research blog. This can be transformed into "pure" LyX almost completely.
For each algorithm-float do
set its "Placement Options" (e.g., by right click) to "Here definitely" to stop it floating -- this is important otherwise an error occurs,
enclose the float by a minipage whose width is a fraction of the column width (e.g., 45% of column width);
Remove all white spaces (including new lines) between the minipages and "Insert > Formatting > Horizontal Space..." "Horizontal Fill";
Add TeX code/ERT \begin{figure*} before the first minipage and \end{figure*} after the last minipage to make the block of algorithms floating again.
Here is a picture of a LyX document followed by the PDF output.
Here you go:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\newcommand\smallarrowover[1]{\scalebox{.5}{$\overrightarrow{#1}$}}
\begin{document}
\noindent
\underline{\sf Step 1 (Update):} When an edge $e=\{u,v\}\in E[G]$ arrives, update each $Z_{\smallarrowover{ab}}$ w.r.t.
\begin{equation}
Z_{\smallarrowover{ab}}(G)\leftarrow Z_{\smallarrowover{ab}}+\mathcal M_{\smallarrowover{ab}}(u,v)+\mathcal M_{\smallarrowover{ab}}(v,u).
\end{equation}
\end{document}
This is the result:
Initially I used \vec{ab} for the arrow over ab, but that did not stretch, and putting \overrightarrow{ab} in the subscripts did not make it smaller, as you want. So I defined a new command, which needs the \graphicx package. Also, you might not need the \noindent I have at the beginning, depending on what you have before it. I put it there so the whole thing would fit on one line.
P.S. I have no experience with the algorithm or algorithmic environments.

In the package documentation of the package algorithm that can be found here, it is written on page 9
As usual you have to use brackets for optional argument. Thus using
\REPEAT[for each episode], should give the desired result.
