Re: [chuck-users] good until loop

Hi Folks, I've always done this: now + 10::second => time later; while (now < later) { // do stuff... } since, "time < time" resolves to either true or false, then the while() construct will work. Mike On Fri, Sep 24, 2010 at 1:57 PM, Tom Lieber wrote:

Yeah, I guess one thing we didn't really mention is that the argument has to be a true/false value. until(5::second) won't work because 5::second will not evaluate to true nor false. I think that's the main misconception.

Is that true? This works how I'd think it should:

until(5::second) { <<< "won't happen" >>>; }

do { <<< "hi" >>>; second => now; } until(5::second);

while(5::second) { <<< "bye" >>>; second => now; }
