Infinite Loop
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
Infinite loops follow Rust syntax.
|
||||
|
||||
`continue` can be used to skip to the next iteration, by-passing all following statements;
|
||||
`break` can be used to break out of the loop unconditionally.
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
let x = 10;
|
||||
|
||||
loop {
|
||||
x -= 1;
|
||||
|
||||
if x > 5 { continue; } // skip to the next iteration
|
||||
|
||||
print(x);
|
||||
|
||||
if x == 0 { break; } // break out of loop
|
||||
}
|
||||
```

||||

~~~admonish danger.small "Remember the `break` statement"
|
||||
|
||||
A `loop` statement without a `break` statement inside its loop block is infinite.
|
||||
There is no way for the loop to stop iterating.

||||

||||
Loop Expression
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
`loop` statements can also be used as _expressions_.
|
||||
|
||||
The `break` statement takes an optional expression that provides the return value.
|
||||
|
||||
The default return value of a `loop` expression is `()`.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
let x = 0;
|
||||
|
||||
// 'loop' can be used just like an expression
|
||||
let result = loop {
|
||||
if is_magic_number(x) {
|
||||
// if the loop breaks here, return a specific value
|
||||
break get_magic_result(x);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
x += 1;
|
||||
|
||||
// ... if the loop exits here, the return value is ()
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
if result == () {
|
||||
print("Magic number not found!");
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
print(`Magic result = ${result}!`);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
