use strict;
use warnings;
use v5.10;
my $i = 0;
for ($i=0; $i <= 9; $i++) {
#say $i;
}
say $i; # 10
my $j = 0;
for $j (0..9) {
# say $j;
}
say $j; # 0
In the c-style for loop we kept the value *that failed the condition*
but I don't think these cases are very interesting.
Maybe something like this, when it is not clear up-front
how will the loop end, is more interesting:
my $k = 0;
for $k (0..9) {
# say $k;
last if rand() < 0.2;
}
say $k; # always 0
my $q = 0;
for ($q=0; $q <= 9; $q++) {
# say $q;
last if rand() < 0.2;
}
say $q; # some random number between 0 - 9
I think this is what Roman suggested.
