New Dataization Result of While Object
As in all other programming languages, an object while
is used to iterate over a set of statements while a condition is true.
In EO this object not only does this,
but is also dataized. And the result of such dataization was the number of iterations
performed. Now this behavior has changed: the result of such dataization can now
be any object (depending on the condition).
It can be divided into two parts: when the condition is TRUE and when the condition
is FALSE.
When the condition is TRUE we get the result of the last dataization object in the while loop.
When the condition is FALSE such dataization result become FALSE.
Let’s check it out with examples. In this case, the result of condition x.lt 6
is TRUE for at least one iteration. So the result of dataization when-true object is 6:
[] > when-true
memory 3 > x
while.
x.lt 6
[i]
seq > @
x.write (x.plus i)
x
And in this case, the result of condition x.lt 6 was never TRUE, that’s why the result
of dataization when-false object is FALSE:
[] > when-false
memory 10 > x
while.
x.lt 6
[i]
seq > @
x.write (x.plus i)
x
