Total Posts: 35 | This Is For Programmers Who Wish To Know Exactly Why WHILE Is Different From REPEAT.
How While Works Is That So Long The While Condition Is TRUE It Keeps Executing Whats Between The While And End.
How Repeat Works Is That So Long The Repeat Condition Is FALSE It Keeps Executing Whats Between Repeat And End.
To Show You What I Mean Here Is An Example Showing You How Both While And Repeat Can Achieve The Function. If You Look You Will See The Difference Besides 1 Being While And The Other Being Repeat.
Example:
WHILE COMMAND
:20 -> A
:While A>1
:A-1 -> A
:End
:While A=1
:Text(0,0,"A=0")
:0 -> A
:End
REPEAT COMMAND
:20 -> A
:Repeat A<2
:A-1 -> A
:Enf
:Repeat A≠1
:Text(0,0,"A=0")
:0 -> A
:End
I Hope Ya Can See The Difference
I Hope This Helps Anyone Who Does Programming And Cannot Tell The Difference Between Repeat And While.
Now Even Though They Vary Slightly It Doesnt Mean You Cant Use Only 1 Of The 2 And Completely Screw The Other. |

While is what's known as a pre-test loop. It will check for if the condition is true before running. Repeat is a post-test loop, it checks the condition after running at least once. So While can run 0 or more times, Repeat will always run at least once. |

I Capitalize The First Letter Of Every Word Just For A Few Reasons.
1. My Pinky And Finger Next To Pinky Always Lay On The Shift.
2. I Think It Looks Better When Every Word Is Capitalized.
3. Its A Way To Rebel Against The Ways Of How Writing Should Be Written.
4. I Don't Believe That No Single Word Should Be More Important Than Any Other.
5. Its A Habit That I Don't Wish To Break.
6. It Just Feels Right To Capitalize Every Word In The Sentence, Just Like How Some People Feel Its Right To Write The As Teh.
And This Should Explain Why I Capitalize Or Try To Capitalize Every Word.
And There May Be A Few More Reasons That I Do So, Just That I'm Not Conciously Aware Of. |

Total Posts: 714 | Reasons not to capitalize every word:
1. I don’t care where your pinky is, stop making excuses.
2. It really is just annoying and hard to read.
3. This is not the 70’s so therefore there is no need to rebel.
4. Try to argue that with your English professor. You will lose.
5. All good things must end.
6. Just because it feels right, doesn’t mean that it is. Example: “Hi I’m a killer and it just feels so right to kill people. I get all fuzzy and warm inside when I do.”

I agree II, you should really stop, you can type a lot faster once you get used to NOT doing it. Really, please work on that. |
