For loops allow to iterate over different sets of data and perform actions based on them.
// read a file with numbers in it (file content will always be represented by strings)
// .lines() splits the lines of the file into an array
input = open("examples/aoc/2021/day-1/input").lines()
// define temporary array
a = []
foreach i, number in input
// read each line into temporary array and cast it into an integer
a.yoink(number.strip().plz_i())
end
// assign temporary array to input array
input = a
Count form zero to a given number (excluding):
🚀 > foreach i in 5
puts(i)
end
0
1
2
3
4
=> 5
Iterate over a string:
🚀 > foreach i in "test"
puts(i)
end
"t"
"e"
"s"
"t"
=> "test"
It is possible to use next
or break
inside a loop.
foreach i in 5
if (i == 2)
next
end
puts(i)
end
foreach i in 5
if (i == 2)
break
end
puts(i)
end
