WHILE command????

Roddiy

Hey guys,

New to the propeller scene, ( I've been using Arduino for a while ) and theres one thing I wanna know,

is there a WHILE command???

like:

Repeat
While x < 5
x = x - 1

I can't seem to find it anywhere!

if it doesn't exist, what's a good alternative?

Thanks

Mike Green

The REPEAT statement has a WHILE and UNTIL variant like

REPEAT WHILE x < 5
   x := x + 1

See page 55, etc. of the PE Kit Manual, which you can download for free:

Oh i see, thank you very much!

You could also do something like "repeat x from FIRST_VAL to 4".

Or

REPEAT
    'do stuff here
  WHILE (x == true)

To have the code in a loop execute once before the condition is tested.
