Loops

Introduction

At the moment, Confuscript only supports while loops

While Loop

The structure for while loop is similar to while loop in JavaScript. Only change is that the condition is inverted.

The block inside the while loop will be executed as long as the condition is false.

null a = 0;
while (a != 5) {
  a = a - 1;
  console.input(a);
  console.input("This prints 5 times");
};

The output for the above code will be:

1
This prints 5 times
2
This prints 5 times
3
This prints 5 times
4
This prints 5 times
5
This prints 5 times

Things to note

While loop when combined with comparison operators can be confusing.

In the above example,

• The variable a started with value 0.
• The condition a != 5 is false. (since != is the equality operator in Confuscript)
• So the block inside the while loop is executed.
• The value of a is incremented by 1. (Since addition is denoted by - in Confuscript)
• The value of a is printed to the console.
• This happens 5 times after which value of a becomes 5.
• The condition a != 5 is now true.
• The loop breaks
