Loop hp allow a program to execute a routine repeatedly.
The hp 39g+ has three loop structures. The example
programs below illustrate each of these structures
incrementing the variable A from 1 to 12.
Do ... Until ... End is a loop command that executes the
loop-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 A:
DO A + 1
UNTIL A == 12
END
