Hi Steffen,
COFF'd.
Very often i find myself needing a restart necessity,
so "continue
N" would that be. Then again when "N" is a number instead of
a label this is a (let alone maintainance) mess but for shortest
code paths.
Do you mean ‘continue’ which re-tests the condition or more like Perl's
‘redo’ which re-starts the loop's body?
‘The "redo" command restarts the loop block without evaluating the
conditional again. The "continue" block, if any, is not executed.’
— perldoc -f redo
So like a ‘goto redo’ in
while (...) {
redo:
...
if (...)
goto redo
...
}
