OSL ‐ Looping
- The
loopstatement repeats a block of code a specified number of times.
Example:
loop 5 ( command command )loop number_of_times ( commands )-
number_of_times: The number of times to repeat the block of commands. -
commands: The commands to be executed within the loop.
loop 3 ( moveForward turnLeft )In this example, the robot will move forward and then turn left three times.
- Fibonacci Sequence Generation:
// Generate Fibonacci sequence up to n terms def "total_loops.fibonacci()" a = 0 b = 0 c = 1 loop total_loops ( a = b + c b = c c = a ) return c endef // Usage: loop 10 ( say 5.fibonacci() )This example demonstrates how the loop command can be used to repeatedly generate the Fibonacci sequence with a specified number of terms.
- Repeated Task Execution:
// Perform a task repeatedly for a certain duration def "performTask" // Your task implementation goes here endef // Usage: loop 10 ( performTask )Here, the loop command is used to execute a task function multiple times, which can be useful for performing repetitive tasks within a program.
// Usage: for i 10 ( log i ) // logs the numbers 1-10 // Usage: for i list.len ( log list[i] ) // logs the items in array "list"// Usage: each i item list ( log i log item log list[i] ) // logs the items in array "list"
