Does a do..while loop work in cogscript? (It's the equivelent of the repeat..until loop in Pascal).

never tried...simple while loops work, so i think a do...while will also. Try it...

Yes while loops work in Cog.

While(arugment)
{
<stuff>
}

Not while loops, do..while loops (from the C language).

do
{
<command block>
}
while (<boolean expression> );

Assuming Cog is based on C, do..while should work.

Those were kinda rendered obsolete by the while(argument) loop (except that the command block is always executed at least once). Don't forget, arguments in C/C++ are always treated as boolean.

Yes, so what... all I wanna know is if they work.

you could also achieve the same loop with this:

do all commands;
while(condition)
{
do all commands;
}

thats the same...one execution, then conditioncheck...

Well, if it doesn't mean to know if it works or not, because the "while" does just about the same, except it only doesn't go through any if it's false,(and you can overcome with a variable or something), then why not just run the script once in JK?

THe only difference it'll make in my cog is that I won't have to give a value to the condition variable before I start the loop. No big deal, but it looks better code-wise...

Anyway I was just curious to know. I guess I'll just have to try it myself, eh?

That way you get your answer the fastest, than taking the time to ask around and wait for some guy that actually knows
