Conditional Do Loops

[Charles Pegge]

with head conditional:

Code: [Select]

int i
do while i<10
  i++
loop
print i

with tail conditional:

Code: [Select]

int i
do
  i++
loop while i<10
print i


[Charles Pegge]

loop until is also supported. (this is decomposed to loop while not ...)

but do until is not yet supported. This will be in the next release (0.3.0)

ScriptBasic LOOP Constructs

[Nicola]

Hi.
I think a few things are needed for loops:
1) evaluate the condition first;
2) assess the condition at the end;
3) exit the loop in any place in the loop;
4) repeat the loop from any place in the loop itself.

1) while x = y ... wend;
2) Loop ... Until x = y;
3) Exit Loop;
4) Repeat Loop;

Hello.

[Charles Pegge]

Our current conditional options are:

Code: [Select]

do while ...
  exit when/if ...
  continue when/while/if/until ...
loop while/when/if/until ...

They all decompose to:

Code: [Select]

do
  if ...
    exit/continue do
  endif
loop

That surely seems to cover all the bases.

I think they are really ok. They satisfy all needs.
It is a good job.
