in reply to do {$i++} until vs. $i++ until

It's consistent and orthogonal with the same construct in C. Think of it more of a syntactic construct along the lines of while( EXPR ) BLOCK continue BLOCK rather than an EXPR until EXPR where the first EXPR is a do BLOCK.

Note that I did not criticize the first-execute-then-check `do{} until` but the first-check-then-execute of `$i++ until`. THAT is the code that feels wrong. That is the construct that puzzles me. Anyone know a language where this is handled the same? But I could live with the "wrong" construction if both cases were at least consistent with each other.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
