10.8. 10.8 Repetitive Compilation (Compile Time Loops)
HLA's #while..#endwhile and #for..#endfor statements provide compile time loop constructs. The #while statement tells HLA to process the same sequence of statements repetitively during compilation. This is very handy for constructing data tables as well as providing a traditional looping structure for compile time programs. Although you will not employ the #while statement anywhere near as often as the #if statement, this compile time control structure is very important when you write advanced HLA programs.
The #while statement uses the following syntax:
#while( constant_boolean_expression )
< text >
#endwhile
When HLA encounters the #while statement during compilation, it will evaluate the ...
