While Wend

[DJEE]

can a While statement only have one condition or can it have more than one condition?

example

While A = 1 AND B < 10
B = B + 1
Wend

I am not sure if you can have more than one condition in a WHILE WEND (although it would be easy enough to find out with a test program). If you can't have more than one condition then you could try to nest more than one WHILE WEND.

Ex:

WHILE A = 1
WHILE B < 10
LET B = B + 1
WEND
WEND

Just an idea

The manual says 'Condition may be any comparison expression.'. So, while it doesn't specifically say that you can, it doesn't specifically say that you can't...use multiple expression's....or even nested While/Wend statements.
I think I'd still put the comparison inside parenthesis to avoid confusing the compiler.

Here is how I would do it (which wasn't your question). The nested WHILE WEND loops to simulate the AND condition can be tricky and are not as straight forward as they appear.

Loop:
If A=1 THEN
IF B < 10 THEN
B=B+1
GOTO Loop
ENDIF
ENDIF

Or just

Loop:
IF A = 1 AND B < 10 THEN
B = B + 1
GOTO Loop
ENDIF

Hey, a question from Melanie at last!!! Aimed at Paul though, being an avid sci-fi fan, I feel I should recognise your Avatar as Klingon or Cylon or something?

nice eye - my name tells all

another hint for Melanie (attached)
(you are now 8 of 9)


Or just

Loop:
IF A = 1 AND B < 10 THEN
B = B + 1
GOTO Loop
ENDIF

certainly more readable but

1) takes longer to evaluate in PIC time
2) takes more code space

*laughs* I didn't need the hint...

But I did think the Borg having a Logo is kinda illogical. Logo's are really a projection of power or identity... so, Klingon's yes, Romulans yes, even Starfleet, but for a bunch of bio-mechanical automatons that assimillated everything they came across, I didn't think they would need (or even collectively recognise the need for) a logo for 'brand awareness'. Next they'll be having a "mission statement"...

Hmmm... interesting accessory for the cat-suit... female Borg in tight leather... oh, they've already done that...
