Chaga Programming Language: Chapter 5: Iteration Statements

Iteration statements

  • The Chaga programming language supports three forms of loop iteration:
    • for
    • while-do
    • do-until
  • The do-until statement differs from for and while-do by iterating at least once.

For statement

  • for (identifier = integer or real constant to integer or real constant) do {statement block}
  • for (identifier = integer or real constant to integer or real constant step integer or real constant) do {statement block}

While-do statement

  • while (expression) do {statement block}

Do-until statement

  • do {statement block} until (expression)

Example 1: for statement

for (i = 0 to 10 step 2) do
{
  printf ("%d ", i)
}
putchar ("\n");

Output from example 1

0 2 4 6 8 10
