Exit for

[Peter]

Hi Cyber,

there is no EXIT FOR, what can I use for it?

[cvirus]

just use

Code: [Select]

end

Hi cvirus,

No, isn't. 
D:\EGSL\julia.lua:24: '<eof>' expected near 'end',  is what i got.

I think is rather BREAK, but I'm not sure about BREAK.

You should use break and end.

Code: [Select]

for x = 1, 1000 do
    if x > 500 then break end
    print(x)
end

Here is an explanation: http://www.lua.org/pil/4.4.html.

A simple for loop is like:

Code: [Select]

for i = 1,3 do print(i) end
The break statement immediately ends the current loop when executed, if you whant to complete the for loop then you shouldn't use break.

Code: [Select]

for i = 1, 3 do
    if ( i == 2 ) then break end
    print( i )
end

The break statement immediately ends the current loop when executed...

That's exactly what exit for in BASIC does.

Yes, it's break. You can see an example in this topic :

(...)
for i = 0, 50 do
    zre2 = zre*zre
    zim2 = zim*zim
    if zre2 + zim2 > 4 then
       color(255-(i+5), i*5, i)
       dot(x,y)
       break
    end
    zim = 2*zre*zim+cim
    zre = zre2-zim2+cre
end
(...)

break exits the for-loop (and not the if-block, as we might think)

A well done help,  inbuilt  in EGSL IDE would be more exact.

[Cybermonkey]

EGSL is Lua, so it's the Lua way.  BTW, "break" is a highlighted keyword in the IDE.

LOL

That´s right, sorry if i wan´t very clear.
