v = get_something()
while v != INCONVENIENT_SENTINEL:
do_something(v)
v = get_something()
I'd personally go with:
while True:
v = get_something()
if v != INCONVENIENT_SENTINEL: break
do_something(v)
But it's not much different. I'd really like to be able to use jump
statements
in ternary expressions, like:
do_something(v)
But that's another story.
