Thank you. Here the "else ... continue" block is for normal exit, and the suite of statements containing the break statement is for unusual exit. > But I don't think anyone's actually doing that :) > We're sort of using the 'break ... continue' as a goto, that goes to the suite after the else block. And though not in name a goto, it has the same problems as a honest goto statement. I consider your example, Chris, to be an argument in favour of allowing 'for ... if break ... else ...'. -- Jonathan
