A sentinel value is a value that is not supposed to change. It can be allocated along with, and used before the beginning and after the ending of a region of memory to detect if the program logic modified memory outside of the intended region. Most compilers and run-time libraries will do this automatically when you do a debug compile/link.
A sentinel loop is a loop that iterates over a series of values until a special "sentinel" value is encountered. For instance, when iterating over the characters in a string, the null-terminator acts as the sentinel value, indicating that the end of the string has been reached. Sentinel loops typically have the following form: while( get_value(value) != sentinel ) { // do something with value... }
In a Sentinel-Controlled loop, a special value called a sentinel value is used to change the loop control expression from true to false.For example,when reading data we may indicate the "end of data" by a special value,like -1 and 999.The control variable is called sentinel variable.A sentinel-Controlled loop is often called indefinite repetition loop because the number of repetitions is not known before the loop begins executing.
The value must be unique enough that it will not be mistaken as a regular value in the list.
Sentinel
It means the array has a sentinel to mark the end of the array. Any elements that follow the sentinel element are deemed invalid. Sentinels are usually denoted with a special value that is not used by any of the elements that precede it. Null-terminated strings are an example, where the NULL character (ASCII code 0) marks the end of a character array.

A sentinel-controlled repetition is a loop structure where the continuation of the loop is determined by a special condition called a sentinel value. When the sentinel value is encountered, it signals the end of the loop. This allows the loop to run until a specific condition is met, rather than for a predetermined number of iterations.
