whilewhileWhileWhile (Operator)

Name

whilewhileWhileWhile — Starts a loop block that is executed as long as the condition is true.

Signature

while( : : Condition : )

Herror while(const Hlong Condition)

Herror T_while(const Htuple Condition)

void While(const HTuple& Condition)

static void HOperatorSet.While(HTuple condition)

Description

whilewhileWhileWhileWhile executes the loop body up to the corresponding endwhileendwhileEndwhileEndwhileEndwhile statement as long as the ConditionConditionConditionConditioncondition parameter evaluates to 'true'"true""true""true""true" (or a number not equal 0).

If the condition evaluates to 'false'"false""false""false""false" (0) the program is continued after the corresponding endwhileendwhileEndwhileEndwhileEndwhile statement.

Parameters

ConditionConditionConditionConditioncondition (input_control)  integer HTupleHTupleHtuple (integer) (int / long) (Hlong) (Hlong)

Condition for loop.
