I took over a project not long ago, and one of the first things I

I came across an interesting set of repeat loops a while back:

  repeat while someCondition then
  --
  end repeat
and

  repeat with someCounter then
  --
  end repeat
I'd never seen a 'then' at the end of a repeat. The compiler didn't 
whine and the code worked fine.


& don't forget this fine case of ignorance:
& the issue above gets more confusing if it's not a 'then' ...
on ignoreSquigglyDoggieDoo stuff
  case stuff of squigglyDoggieDoo
    1 : put 1
    2 : put 2
    otherwise ALERT "not accounted for"
  end case
  repeat while (stuff=1) bananaDog
    stuff = "done"
    put stuff
  end repeat
end
