Recursive loop (WHILE)

The recursive loop operator is similar to a regular loop operator, with the only difference being that iteration is performed recursively until at a certain point the set of objects collections satisfying the condition becomes empty. As a result, there is no sense in defining alternative actions with this operator.

Language

The syntax of the recursive loop operator is described by the WHILE operator.

Examples

iterateDates (DATE dateFrom, DATE dateTo)  {
    LOCAL dateCur = DATE();

    dateCur() <- dateFrom;
    WHILE dateCur() <= dateTo DO {
        MESSAGE 'I have a date ' + dateCur();
        dateCur() <- sum(dateCur(), 1);
    }
}
