Hi, I am trying to make a little example with a while loop. I plan to use it in another context so I'd like to avoid using ranges (unless you show me how to represent infinite sequences like all integers). The code doesn't work because the n in "n dec" is not a symbol ? Nor a variable ? I still don't understand how to use symbols because I thought that I could avoid using SYMBOL: and still get the benefit of variables. I could do it with recursion (as with the test2 word) but instead I try to use the while word specifically.
Could you please show me how to rewrite my example ? Or maybe I cannot alter the value of n inside [let. TIA Ludovic Kuty ! INFINITE LOOP !!!!! BUG : test ( -- ) [let | n [ 10 ] | [ n zero? not ] [ n dec n "%d\n" printf ] while ] ; ! OK but I do not want this :: test2 ( n -- ) n zero? [ ] [ n "%d\n" printf n 1 - test2 ] if ; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
