UNTILconditionlist
instructionlist
Repeatedly evaluates the instructionlist
as long as the evaluated conditionlist
remains FALSE.
UNTIL evaluates conditionlist
before instructionlist
, so instructionlist
may not be run at all.
The conditionlist
input must contain an expression that evalautes to either TRUE or FALSE.
The fact that the conditionlist
input is a list may be misleading, because it should contain exactly one expression.
It is only a list because the contents of a list are not evaluated by default.
Instead, they must be explicitly evaluated with RUN.
This allows Logo to reevaluate conditionlist
after each iteration, rather than only evaluating it once.
