Repeat...Until

Syntax

Repeat Condition Instructions Instructions Until Condition

or

Repeat { Instructions : } Until Condition

Overview

Execute a block of instructions until a condition is true.

Example

Device = 24HJ128GP502
                                   ' Select the device to compile for
Declare Xtal = 16
Dim MyWord as Word
MyWord = 1
Repeat
  Print Dec MyWord, " "
  DelayMs 200
  Inc MyWord
Until MyWord > 10

or

Repeat PinHigh LED_Pin : Until PORTA.0 = 1 ' Wait for a Port change

Notes.

The Repeat-Until loop differs from the While-Wend type in that, the Repeat loop will carry out the instructions within the loop at least once, then continuously until the condition is true, but the While loop only carries out the instructions if the condition is true.

The Repeat-Until loop is an ideal replacement to a For-Next loop, and actually takes less code space, thus performing the loop faster.

Two commands have been added especially for a Repeat loop, these are Inc and Dec.

Inc. Increment a variable i.e. MyWord = MyWord + 1

Dec. Decrement a variable i.e. MyWord = MyWord - 1

The above example shows the equivalent to the For-Next loop: -

For MyWord = 1 to 10 : Next
