Loops for the Very Beginners!

[ZeroPldn]

mmk, my first post, here it goes...

Basic Loops

ok, for the basic loop, that goes on forever

loop
put "type a number
var number:real
get number
put "the number is "..
put number
end loop

this will keep outputing the number u enter, but u cant stop it unless u exit the harsh way, the top right X button (OMG!)

loop w/ exception

ok, now this is the same as the first, 'cept this one u can end the program when you type a negative number.

loop
put "enter a number"
put "if u enter a negative number, the program will end"
var number:real
get number
end if number<0
put "the number is "..
put number
end loop

ok, this one you can type a number, but as soon as it becomes negative, the program will stop.

thats all for now, if any1 sees an error plz debug as i am ne to this stuff

Put all the code in Code tags, like this;

code:

EDIT

Check your code, it doesn't work..

EDIT AGAIN

Declare vars BEFORE loops. If you want to change the number to a 0 then just;

code:

num := 0

OR since you choose it again do nothing.

EDIT YET AGAIN

Welcome to the compsci forums, if you have any questions feel free to post them ^^;

welcome!!!

anyways most of ur code doesnt work so uv really got to edit some

"end if's" are used for "if" statements, you're going to want "exit when", and put it at the end of the loop, so everything can be run.

and the second prat

code:

loop     var number : real     put "enter a number"     put "if u enter a negative number, the program will end"     get number     put "the number is " ..     put number     exit when number < 0 end loop

see...arnt i nice??

Also it may help to know that the 'exit when' command can be used as many times as neccisary within a loop, and that it can use the and and or statements, just little tidbits that helped me out...
