"While" Statement Examples
This section provides a tutorial example on how to use 'while' statements to repeat a block of statements.
To help you understand how "While" statements work, I wrote the following the example, loop_while.html:
<html> <body> <!-- loop_while.html - Copyright (c) 1998 HerongYang.com. All Rights Reserved. --> <pre> <script language="vbscript"> document.writeln("") i = 3 While i <= 30 bIsPrime = True j = 2 While j <= i\2 And bIsPrime bIsPrime = i Mod j > 0 j = j + 1 Wend If bIsPrime Then document.writeln("Found a prime number: " & i) End If i = i + 2 Wend </script> </pre> </body> </html>
Here is the output:
Found a prime number: 3 Found a prime number: 5 Found a prime number: 7 Found a prime number: 11 Found a prime number: 13 Found a prime number: 17 Found a prime number: 19 Found a prime number: 23 Found a prime number: 29
The example worked perfectly. What do you think?
