Loop commands

Loop structures allow a program to execute a routine
repeatedly. The HP 39G/40G has three loop structures. The
example programs below illustrate each of these structures
incrementing the variable A from 1 to 12.
DO...UNTIL
Do ... Until ... End is a loop structure that executes the loop-
...END clause repeatedly until test-clause returns a true (nonzero)
result. Because the test is executed after the loop-clause, the
loop-clause is always executed at least once. Its syntax is:
DO loop-clause UNTIL test-clause END
1
DO A + 1
UNTIL A == 12
END
WHILE...
While ... Repeat ... End is a loop structure that repeatedly
REPEAT... evaluates test-clause and executes loop-clause sequence if the
test is true. Because the test-clause is executed before the
END
loop-clause, the loop-clause is not executed if the test is
initially false. Its syntax is:
WHILE test-clause REPEAT loop-clause END
1
WHILE A < 12
REPEAT A+1
END
15-22
