Jump Statements

Jump statements implement one method of flow control in Scenome Scripting Language.

• break;
• continue;
• return;

Details

Details are as follows:

• break and continue statements must only be used within the context of an iteration statement.

Examples

This example uses a return statement to return a value from a function.

function double GetPI()
{
   return 3.1415;
}

This example uses a continue statement to selectively execute portions of a loop. It prints the values 1 through 10 to the Scenome application's output window, and if the value of x is less than 5, it prints the string x is less than 5 after printing the number.

for( int x = 0; x < 10; ++x )
{
   Application.Log.LogString( x + 1 );
   if( x >= 5 )
   {
      continue;
   }
   Application.Log.LogString( "x is less than 5" );
}

This example uses a break statement to terminate execution of an otherwise infinite loop. It prints the values 1 through 5 to the Scenome application's output window.

int x = 0;
while( 1 )
{
   Application.Log.LogString( x + 1 );
   if( x >= 4 )
   {
      break;
   }
   ++x;
}
