sorry for the newbie question - Badger(new) - 06.03.2009

sorry, but i've searched on these forums and sa-mp wiki (just incase) for info on what
Код:
while
is and does.

Re: sorry for the newbie question - [RP]Rav - 06.03.2009

it does exactly what it says
Код:
while (expression is true)
{
   // you can do something here
}
like for example

pawn Код:
new i = 0;
while (i < 5)
{
  printf("%d",i);
  i++;
}

Yes, what he said. Another example:

pawn Код:
new i = 0;
new e = 0;
while(!i)
{
  if (e > 5)
  {
    i = 1;
  }
  e++;
}
This will also break the while() when e is above 5, because i becomes 1 (true).

It's a joke right?

Re: sorry for the newbie question - Norn - 06.03.2009

Why isn't this used more? I rarely see it in any released scripts.

Re: sorry for the newbie question - Badger(new) - 06.03.2009

ohh. so does it just mean during the stuff in the () and then you have the {and }.

No. I have never seen (while) before and was just wondering what it could be used for.

because for most things a for loop will do the same job with less effort to the scripter.
