while
Loop until condition false
while
loops until loops until condition is false.
Normally the conditional and executed code block are 2 separate parameters however you can call while
with just 1 parameter where the code block acts as both the conditional and the code to be ran.
while { condition } { code-block } -> <stdout>
while { code-block } -> <stdout>
!while { condition } { code-block } -> <stdout>
!while { code-block } -> <stdout>

Meta values are a JSON object stored as the variable $.
. The meta variable will get overwritten by any other block which invokes meta values. So if you wish to persist meta values across blocks you will need to reassign $.
, eg
%[1..3] -> foreach {
meta_parent = $.
%[7..9] -> foreach {
out "$(meta_parent.i): $.i"
}
}
The following meta values are defined:
i
: iteration numberwhile
!while
