While is to wierd. For is AWESOME!  |

While is useful for internal loop control, though.

Probably true.

Well, as I stated earlier, you COULD modify a For loop...
But this is inefficient.

But goto/label loops have a good internal loop control too.

They're slower.

Not by much. Oh, and they have even better internal loop control (in most situations). Also, did everyone forget about repeat?

Wit Ifs only.
Repeats are Do...While (like in C)

It depends on your needs. You can replace the for loop with the while loop and vice versa. If the while loop condition is not properly defined you can get an indefinite loop.

EXACTLY! Perfectly said.

Just so everybody knows, I mistakedly called Goto/Label a loop (although it can act a LITTLE like a loop...). Thanks for someone pointing that out.

It's very slow.

While is winning (Hooray!)

Man, I should of voted for "While". But although for doesn'y allow as much internal loop control, it is just fast, possibly faster. I forgot. I haven't used For and While in a while.  |

You mean you were using Goto...Lbl???  |

Post by bfr on Jan 7, 2005 18:25:57 GMT -5
Well, I used goto/label for a while, until I discoverec the Mad powers of While and Repeat (I already new about For()

While is much better than repeat!
Okay, they're approximately the same.

Well, in SOME (note: some) situations While can prove to be much more efficient.

Repeat is like Do...While; the condition will ALWAYS repeat AT LEAST once.
While will not always repeat even once.
I believe that While is more useful in keyboard-based games (as bcherry said.)
