Wish Regular Loops (Do Loop While Until)

emexes · Oct 27, 2022

It'd be great if both the Do and the Loop could simultaneously have optional While or Until clauses, eg:

B4X:

Do    'no need for extraneous While True (or Until False ?)
Loop

B4X:

Do Until A = B
Loop

B4X:

Do
Loop While A = B

and I know you'll just love this one two:

Do Until EOF
Loop While Count < Maximum

Call it a win for logical consistency. ?

Bonus: one-up on most other languages.

I also don't like Do While True, so here's an alternative?
In Class_Globals...
Public Const TheCowsComeHome As Boolean = False

B4X:

    Do Until TheCowsComeHome
    Loop
