Code Block
for(string user in watchers){
   print(user);
}

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;
}

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;
}

Syntax

The general syntax is:

    i = i + 1;
