Loops 30
Loop
executes the loop as long as the condition after the Until evaluates to false.
3. The Do...Loop While version
Do
' ... loop body
Loop While A > 10
only checks the condition after the first loop pass and terminates if the condition after
the While evaluates to false.
4. The Do...Loop Until version
Do
' ... loop body
Loop Until A > 10
also checks its condition after the first pass, but terminates if the condition after the
Until evaluates to true.
As in the For...Next loop, the Do...Loop also provides a terminate command. The Exit Do
command can exit at loop at any point within the loop.
Do
If A = 4 Then
Exit Do
End If
' ... loop body
Loop While A > 10
While. . . Wend
The While...Wend loop construct works exactly the same as the Do While...Loop, but with
the disadvantage that there is no Exit command available. The following two loops produce
identical results:
Do While A > 10
' ... loop body
Loop
While A > 10
' ... loop body
Wend
