Loops

A loop repeatedly executes the statements inside its block as long as the condition is true.

준서야 [condition] 또처먹냐?
  [statements]
ㅋ

When the condition becomes false, the loop stops and execution continues with the statement after the block.

TIP

For how conditions are evaluated as true/false, see True and False.

Example

Code that prints from 1 to 10:

오 오?~준서!ㅋ
준서야 ! 또처먹냐?
  오준서!ㅋ
  !~?오~준서!ㅋ
ㅋ

This code works in the following steps:

1. Assign 오 오?(10) to variable 1.
2. If variable 1 is not 0 (= truthy), execute the block.
   1. Print the value of variable 1.
   2. Add ?오(-1) to variable 1 and store the result back. (= decrement by 1)
3. When variable 1 reaches 0, the loop stops.

As a result, 10, 9, 8, ..., 1 is printed.

Watch out for infinite loops

If the condition stays true forever, the loop never ends. You must change the value (usually a variable) that affects the condition inside the block.

준서야 오 또처먹냐?
  오준서오ㅋ
ㅋ

The above code never stops because the condition is always 오(1).

Breaking Out Mid-Loop

Inside a loop, you can use the flow control keywords 더처먹어(continue) and 그만처먹어(break) to change the flow of iteration.
