Continue statement? #187

Open AntonBogun opened 2 years ago

AntonBogun commented 2 years ago

I could not find any description on a continue statement which can be seen in other languages, and it does not seem to be a reserved identifier inside loops. Is this intentional or was it just not implemented yet?

aardappel commented 2 years ago

I guess I've simply never had a need for it. It could definitely be added.

salping commented 1 year ago

is this planned to be added, or is this just a dead thread? continue would be super helpful for lots of projects.

Neither. This is not an open source project with permanent staffing, so things get added when contributors feel like implementing things, not anything on a set priority or schedule.

I think the new guard statement could be used like a conditional continue... Correct me if I'm wrong but a separate continue statement shouldn't be necessary, you can always write guard false and it should be perfectly equal to an conventional continue

guard false only shortcuts the current block, so wouldn't allow for the more common if ...: continue. Also, guard false never executes the statements following it, so would be non-sensical.

i checked the doc folder, sorry if this is a stupid question but is there documentation on where keywords are implemented i just found documentation about the lobster language itself
