I propose a new keyword and structure for our loops. I think the syntax is more intuitive and concise, and the controls are really necessary to turn the infinite looping mechanism into a really powerful and flexible tool. IN UR LOOP BTW This is a continue: NEXT PLZ BTW This is a break: THATS ALL KTHX That's it. Pure and simple. It also makes writing the assembly for it reeeally easy =) --- //Kyle, 2007/05/29 05:46// I think I still prefer "IM IN YR LOOP" rather than just "IN YR LOOP". Dropping the "IM" kinda loses some of the charm of the language. Hmm...not sure about the end tag. I'm torn between some variation of KTHX ("KTHXLOOP"?) and "IM OUTTA YR LOOP". --- //ILikePi, 2007/05/29 12:11// ---- Can we name the loops arbitrarily? Then break out of them or start over at any point by calling them by name? e.g. HAI CAN HAS STDIO? I HAS A YURZ IM IN UR HOUSE VISIBLE "RAIDIN UR GOODZ" YURZ IZ 0 IM IN UR FRIDGE VISIBLE "COUNTIN UR FOODZ" UP YURZ!!1 IZ YURZ BIGGER THAN 10? YA RLY VISIBLE "NO THX TOO MANY FOODZ! GOTTA WATCH MY FIGURE" GTF OUTTA FRIDGE NO LOL VISIBLE YURZ OKTHX IM OUTTA UR FRIDGE IM IN UR LIVINGROOM VISIBLE "STEALING UR NINTENDOZ" I HAS A SLEEPING BTW random number generator maybe? SLEEPING IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN NO LOL AND YA RLY IZ SLEEPING? YA RLY VISIBLE "WIN! GIMMEH UR WII" NO LOL VISIBLE "O SHIT YOU CAUGHT ME" GTF OUTTA HOUSE OKTHX IM OUTTA UR LIVINGROOM IM OUTTA UR HOUSE KTHXBYE --- //fury, 2007/05/29 14:38// If lolcode ever adds OOP, I think ''IM IN YR [watever]'' would be good as a with{} block. About the last comment... I don't think we need labels on loops. Let's just add a GOTO statement to the language (not necessarily called that way). LOLCODE would be way more fun if you could write spaghetti code with it xD --- //Nicolas, 2007/05/29 18:16// I agree with Nicolas, see [[goto]]. --- //shox, 2007/05/30 17:26// ---- For loop control, I propose 'NM' (never mind) as break and 'MOAR' as continue. Alternatively, 'PWNT' for break, but I feel that should be used for more egregious purposes. --- //Geordan Rosario, 2007/05/30 20:46// ---- I like IM IN YR for the loop. Check out this construction: I HAS A FISH ITZ 0 IM IN YR HOUSE UPPIN YR FISH WATCHIN YR FISH IZ BIGGER THAN 10 VISIBLE "O HAI!, THIS IZ FISH0RZ NUMBAR " N FISH IM OUTTA YR HOUSE UPPIN YR (or NERFIN YR) updates the var. WATCHIN YR is the breakout test. An idea. --- //Risser, 2007/05/31 19:33// ---- A possible suggestion for declaring a while(condition) loop could be in the format : WATCH DIZ IZ VISIBLE "LOLCATS" COOL HAY --- //golgy, 2007/06/01 10:15//
