Loop Forever? - toml_12953 - 08-20-2015 03:17 PM

In ISO BASIC, there's a way to loop forever (you can always EXIT a loop from within)

Code:

DO

  <code goes here>

LOOP

Is there a way to do that on Prime?

Right now I have this which seems very clumsy:

Code:

REPEAT

  <code goes here>

UNTIL 1≠1;

You can do:

Code:

REPEAT

  <code goes here>

UNTIL 0;

Code:

WHILE 1 DO

  <code goes here>

END;

For me,

Code:

WHILE 1 DO

  <your code goes here>

END;

has been something of a standard way to get that done.
