As a point of interest not all languages have these constructs. Oberon, for example, only has a while loop because it can be used to simulate all other loop types. Some Lisp dialects don't even have a loop construct because recursion can be used instead. In addition to for, while and repeat/until some languages (eg ADA and some BASICs) include a general loop construct. And of course in assembler GOTO is the ultimate loop construct. Don;t assume that just because one language supports a particular construct that others will or should also support it. The variety of control structures offered is one of the defining features of any programming language. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
