+Every class has the <code>out</code> method that can be used to get a text version of the object. For a lot of class, this method return internal informations that are not really useful for the end user. But for every <code>NUMERIC</code> class, the <code>out</code> method return a text representation of the number that the <code>NUMERIC</code> object represents.
+
+<code>
+	print_integer(a_integer:INTEGER)
+			-- Print the value of `a_integer'
+		do
+			print(a_integer.out + "%N")
+		end
+</code>
+
+Note that for more advance convertion, you can also used convertion class like <code>FORMAT_DOUBLE</code>.

+[[Property:title|Removing object while iterating on a LIST]]
+If you already have the object that you want to remove from the <code>LIST</code> you can easily use <code>prune</code> and <code>prune_all</code>. But if you want to remove objects while iterating on that <code>LIST</code>, depending on criteria on the objects contained in the <code>LIST</code>, here what you can do.
+
+First of all, if you think about removing object while iterating, I do not recommend using an <code>across</code> loop. If you iterate on the list using a <code>from until loop end</code>, just remember to use the <code>LIST.forth</code> only when you do not use <code>LIST.remove</code>.
+
+For example, let's say we have class <code>MY_CLASS</code> with an attribute <code>has_stopped</code> and that I want to remove every object of a <code>LIST</code> that has this attribute set to <code>True</code>. Here what the code will look like.
+
+<code>
+	removing_stopped(a_list:LIST[MY_CLASS])
+			-- Removing every closed element of `a_list'
+		do
+			from
+				a_list.start
+			until
+				a_list.exhausted
+			loop
+				if a_list.item.has_stoped then
+					a_list.remove
+				else
+					a_list.forth
+				end
+			end
+		end
+</code>

+[[Property:weight|2000]]
+[[Property:title|Iterating on a LIST]]
+There are two Eiffel mechanisms to iterate on every element of a <code>LIST</code>.
+
+The first it the <code>across</code> loop. The <code>across</code> can be used on every <code>ITERABLE</code> object (including <code>LIST</code> objects).
+
+<code>
+	print_elements(a_list:LIST[INTEGER])
+			-- Print every elements on `a_list'
+		do
+			across a_list as la_list loop
+				print(la_list.item.out + "%N")
+			end
+		end
+</code>
+
+Note that the temporary variable (<code>la_list</code> in the example) represent an iterator of the <code>ITERABLE</code> object, and not directly an element like in many other languages (like the <code>for</code> structure in Python for example).
+
+The other mechanism uses the <code>from until</code> loop syntax. This syntax offer more possibilities than the <code>across</code> loop, but is riskier.
+
+<code>
+	print_elements(a_list:LIST[INTEGER])
+			-- Print every elements on `a_list'
+		do
+			from
+				a_list.start
+			until
+				a_list.exhausted
+			loop
+				print(a_list.item.out + "%N")

+Normally, if the user use the CTRL+C keys, the Eiffel application detect it as an error and throw an exception of type  <code>OPERATING_SYSTEM_SIGNAL_FAILURE</code>.
+
+To manage the CTRL+C keys, you can use a <code>rescue</code> clause to detect the exception and a <code>retry</code> mecanism to cancel the exception handeling done by the Eiffel runtime.
+
+To detect the exception, you can <code>inherit</code> from the <code>EXCEPTIONS</code> class and use an attachment test on <code>Exception_manager.last_exception</code>.
