ENDW
If the expression is true (not zero), loop statements are
executed until the ENDW statement is encountered. Floating
point math then returns to the WHILE statement and checks
expression. If expression is still true, the process is repeated.
If the expression is not true, execution resumes with the
statement following the ENDW statement.
To avoid infinite loops, the expression must be modified (its
value changed) during repeated execution to make the
expression false and exit the loop.
WHILE and ENDW statements may be nested.
Relational and Logical Operators
Relational and logic operators are often used in the
expressions for IF and WHILE statements to control the
execution of other mathematical statements.
Relational Operators
Relational operators compare two values. The result of the
comparison is either true (1) or false (0). The result can then
be used to make a decision regarding program flow. The
relational operators are shown in Table 3.
Table 3. Relational Operators.
Operator Relation Tested Expression
= Equality X = Y
<> Inequality X <> Y
< Less than X < Y
> Greater than X > Y
<= Less than or equal to X <= Y
>= Greater than or equal to X >= Y
When arithmetic and relational operators are combined in
one expression, the arithmetic is always performed first.
