While Statement
The while statement offers support for repeated executions. This form evaluates the condition first and then executes the instructions in the body.
Syntax
Code Block |
---|
while(condition) {
Instruction1;
...
InstructionN;
}
|
Example
Code Block |
---|
number i = 1;
while(i <= 3) {
multisel = arrayAddElement(multisel,"value" + i);
i = i + 1;
}
|
Do-While Statement
The do-while statement is similar to the while statement, except the condition is evaluated after the execution of the encapsulated block. So,even if the condition is false, the instructions will still be evaluated once.
Syntax
The general syntax is:
Code Block |
---|
do {
Instruction1;
...
InstructionN;
} while(condition);
|
Example
Code Block |
---|
number i = 1;
string [] people;
do {
people += watchers[i];
i = i + 1;
} while(i < 5);
|
Switch Statement
The switch statement statement offers support for executing different operations depending on the value of a variable. The variable can be either a number or a string.
Syntax
The general syntax for this is:
...
Note |
---|
Note: the default branch can be omitted as well as the break statements |
Example
Code Block |
---|
switch (season) { case "Summer": print("It's too hot!"); break; case "Winter": print("It's too cold!"); break; default: print("It's just fine!"); } |
Break Statement
The The break statement statement can be used in two situations:
- inside a loop(for, while): when encountering
...
- the break, the execution of the loop is terminated and the control is transfered to the statement that follows the loop;
- in switch statements: when a case is followed by a break, it does not execute subsequent cases and control is transfered out of the switch statement.
Example
Code Block |
---|
for (number i = 0; i < 10; i = i + 1) { if (i >= 5) { break; } print(i); } |
...
The continue statement is used inside a loop(for, while) causing it to jump to the next iteration, skipping the execution of the rest of the statements inside the loop for the current iteration.
Example
Code Block |
---|
number i = 1;
while (i <= 10) {
if (i % 3 == 0) {
i = i + 1;
continue;
}
print(i);
i = i + 1;
} |
