help make some basic loops

[ratacat 0]

I seem to be having problems putting loops in my programs.

If anyone could show just a really small tiny prog for each loop that demonstrates it's usage, I'd greatly appreciate the help.

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that these were the following loops.

do

until

while

wend

for

next

well yes, but you need conditions.

$myVar = 1

While $myVar = 1

$myVar = 0

WEnd

That loop wont last very long, but you can see how to put in a conditional statement

Not the best examples but should help. I wanted to show all the loops, but maybe a better first example would be:

$rand = Random(1, 10, 1) ;integer flag

$numTries = 1

$guess = InputBox("Enter guess", "I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10... What's your guess?")

While $guess <> $rand

$guess = InputBox("Enter guess", "Wrong! Guess again:")

$numTries = $numTries + 1

WEnd

MsgBox(4096,"Congrats", "You guessed the number in " & $numTries & " tries.")

$rand = Random(1, 10, 1);integer flag
$numTries = 0
Do
    $guess = InputBox("Enter guess", "I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10...  What's your guess?")
    $numTries = $numTries + 1
Until $guess = $rand
MsgBox(4096,"Example 1 of 3", "You guessed the number in " & $numTries & " tries.")

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Global $CONTINUE = 1
HotKeySet("^+q", "Quit")
Func Quit()
    $CONTINUE = 0
EndFunc
SplashTextOn("Example 2 of 3", "This is an infinite Loop... Press Ctrl+Shift+Q to terminate.")
While $CONTINUE
    sleep(100)
WEnd
SplashOff()

$sum = 0
For $i = 1 to 100
    $sum = $sum + $i
Next
MsgBox(4096,"Example 3 of 3", "The sum of the first 100 numbers is " & $sum)
