Next Iteration (Terminate process of a block within a caller function
Description
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.
Usage
continue block-name
Examples
%[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
10
Detail
continue
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`
