Abstract
The While/Do function executes a statement or group of statements repeatedly until the specified condition is false (evaluates to zero). The repeating of steps over and over is known as iteration. Since templates have looping structures in them there are times when it is necessary to repeat the same set of statements for each iteration of a loop.
Content
Within extended rules, While/Do loops can be used for different purposes. Below are some of the most common uses.
- Initializing arrays
- Looping through iterations of a repeating structure
- Adding or removing characters from a string
