loop_gt

Construction of looping operations.

Syntax

loop_gt(indx, idecr, imin, label)
loop_gt(kndx, kdecr, kmin, label)

loop_gt indx, idecr, imin, label
loop_gt kndx, kdecr, kmin, label

Initialization

indx -- i-rate variable to count loop.

idecr -- value to decrement the loop.

imin -- minimum value of loop index.

Performance

kndx -- k-rate variable to count loop.

kdecr -- value to decrement the loop.

kmin -- minimum value of loop index.

The actions of loop_gt are equivalent to the code

indx  =  indx - idecr
if (indx > imin) igoto label

or

kndx  =  kndx - kdecr
if (kndx > kmin) kgoto label

📝 Note

Adviced is to use the 'modern' while or until opcodes for looping constructions.

Examples

Here is an example of the loop_gt opcode. It uses the file loop_gt.csd.
