do loop while (condition);
| • | loop | – | Executes once, then executes condition. | |
| • | condition | – | If condition executes true, it then loops back and executes loop again. |
Any of the statements can be null statements. A do...while loop is slightly faster than a while or for loop, and requires fewer bytes of memory than a while or for loop.
Specification
| Type | Condition |
|---|---|
| integer | True if it is not zero. |
| float | True if it is not zero.[1] |
| string | True if its length is not zero. |
| key | True only if it is a valid key and not NULL_KEY. |
| vector | True if the vector is not ZERO_VECTOR. |
| rotation | True if the rotation is not ZERO_ROTATION. |
| list | True if the length is not zero. Note that correct behavior is only seen with Mono-compiled scripts; LSO-compiled scripts incorrectly resolve to false if the list is non-empty: BUG-230728 |
Examples
//Counts from 1 to 5
default
{
state_entry()
{
integer olf;
do
llSay(0, (string) (++olf));
while(olf<5);
}
}
//Counts from 0 to 4
default
{
state_entry()
{
integer olf;
do
llSay(0, (string)olf);
while((++olf)<5);
}
}
