in reply to do while loops

What do you do if you want to exit out of the loop earlier? This should be covered under this topic as it differs from one to another. Last; -> to break out next; -> to skip to next

    do{ ... } while $foo; isn't a loop, it's a block with a postfixed while, so you need to label it to re-do it.

      sum = 0; for (x = 1; x <= 5; x++) { printf("%d", x); sum = sum + x; printf("The sum is %d", sum); }

        for(;;) loops are ick... they tend to lead to unneeded subscripting and other pesky things

        for my $x (1..4) is far less intent-obfuscated-by-code looking (as far as i see it anyway)

        wait, is that C?
