continue)Terminate process of a block within a caller function
continue will terminate execution of a block (eg
function, private, foreach,
if, etc) right up until the caller function. In iteration
loops like foreach and formap this will result
in behavior similar to the continue statement in other
programming languages.
continue block-name%[1..10] -> foreach i {
if { $i == 5 } then {
out "continue"
continue foreach
out "skip this code"
}
out $i
}Running the above code would output:
» foo
1
2
3
4
continue
6
7
8
9
10continue cannot escape the bounds of its scope
(typically the function it is running inside). For example, in the
following code we are calling continue bar (which is a
different function) inside of the function foo:
function foo {
%[1..10] -> foreach i {
out $i
if { $i == 5 } then {
out "exit running function"
continue bar
out "ended"
}
}
}
function bar {
foo
}Regardless of whether we run foo or bar,
both of those functions will raise the following error:
Error in `continue` (7,17): no block found named `bar` within the scope of `foo`break):
