Why would "if not A" also be true when you repeat the current iteration? What keeps this from becoming an endless loop? Jan 26, 2023, 11:45 by thomasratzketr@outlook.de:
Hi all,
i would like to suggest the following Python feature. It naturally happens that one want's to repeat the current iteration of a for loop for example after an error happened. For this purpose, I usually set a flag and put a while loop inside my for loop. A simple "repeat" statement just like "continue" or "break" would make the code much more readable.
This is my solution at the moment with A being checked:
for _ in range(n): flag = True while flag: ... if A: flag = False # go to next iteration
I would suggest the repeat statement in the following sense
for _ in range(n): ... if not A: repeat # repeat current iteration
Notice the "not" in the if clause. I am really looking forwars to hear your opinions.
Best regards Thomas
