Another question could be: why is there not a statement "whileTrue" or "loop"?<br>
<br>
For exemple:<br>
<br>
whileTrue:<br>
statement 1<br>
if condition:<br>
break<br>
statement 2<br>
<br>
<br>
It could be an economy of one unuseful test by loop.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/21/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Magnus Lycka</b> <<a href="mailto:lycka@carmen.se">lycka@carmen.se</a>> wrote:</span>
