Data Flow with While Statements and Loops

2014-12-10-loops.Rmd

*This is part of a series of posts about the Genie programming language. I am updating my progress in learning the language from scratch in the hopes it will be useful for anyone also trying to get to programming in the linux/Gtk world. This is an extremely basic overview of how loops look like in Genie. If you have any experience with other languages, there will be nothing new to you.*

Here is a for loop that will print a series of numbers and report that it is finished:

```
[indent=4]
init
    for var I = 1 to 10
        print I.to_string()
    print("All done!")
```

Now a simple while loop to achieve the same goal as the previous example:


```
[indent=4]
init

    var loop = 1
    while loop <= 10
        print loop.to_string()
        loop = loop + 1
```

That's it.
