Loops
Loops are command blocks in AI connect that can put sets of code in repetitive cycles in
order to reduce the steps of the program. There are several types of loop blocks available
that are all designed for different purposes. The following are the main types of loop blocks
that we can use in AI Connect:
For Loop
It can repeat a set of blocks for a certain number
of times and perform an action on it each time it is
repeated.
This block is very useful for performing operations on
multiple items of a list and printing out the results.
Range block
The ‘Range’ block can be used with the ‘for each’ block to set the maximum
number of times it will repeat its actions.
Notes
In range block, the input can only be integers but not a negative integer. As
the count always starts from 0 and not 1.
Repeat block
‘Repeat’ command block simply repeats the blocks attached to it
for a certain number of times.
It is used to save time and effort as we only need to type the
commands once and the block will repeat them automatically.
Repeat while
This block also repeats a set of commands in a code but only till a
specified condition is met.
As long as the condition stays true, the code keeps repeating.
Uses of Loop Blocks
‘Loop’ command blocks can be used to print out many useful things that need repetition like
multiplication table, timers, data filling, etc.
