Exiting a FOR/NEXt loop

[Circlotron]

Hi all. First post. I did post a couple of times on Facebook, but now I'm here.
Okay... I have a FOR/NEXT loop that I want to exit if a certain condition occurs. The thing is, if I put a label for it to go to it doesn't do that. It simply resumes on the next line after the loop. I'm using version 2.02

Code: (Select All)

Cls
For x& = 1 To 10
    Print x&
    If x& = 5 Then Exit For: GoTo stuff
Next x&

Print "done"
here: GoTo here

stuff:
Print "exited loop"

You EXIT FOR, which moves the program flow at that point to after the NEXT statement. The GOTO never executes.

For x& = 1 To 10
Print x&
If x& = 5 Then Exit For: GoTo stuff
Next x&

PRINT x& ' As you can see here, x& is 5, so you did indeed EXIT the FOR loop.
Print "done"

It certainly did exit the loop. I'm just surprised that it didn't treat the GOTO following the colon as the next instruction and follow it instead. Just now I tried it on QBASIC and it does the same thing. Oh well...

This is what you expected the program to do:

Code: (Select All)

Cls
For x& = 1 To 10
    Print x&
    If x& = 5 Then Exit For
Next x&

If x& = 5 Then GoTo stuff

Print "done"
here: GoTo here

stuff:
Print "exited loop"

Check out the line right below "next x&"...
