Do While

Description

This container executes the functors it contains at least once, and keeps executing them for as long as the condition set by a Set While Condition functor placed inside it is true. Each execution is called a step. While a step runs, the container makes the current step available to its contents through the internal output port Step.

Inputs

None.

Optional Inputs

Name Type Description Default Value
Sequence Input None Type Ensures that the functor connected to this port finishes executing before this container starts. None

Outputs

Name Type Description
Sequence Output None Type Connect this port to another container's Sequence Input to make this container finish executing before that other container starts.

Internal Outputs

Name Type Description
Step Non Negative Integer Value Type Current iteration step.

Internal Inputs

Name Type Description
Condition Boolean Value Type Current value of the condition that keeps the loop running.

Notes

This container has no condition port of its own. Place a Set While Condition functor inside it and connect its output to decide whether the loop keeps running.

Because the content always executes at least once, a result it produces can be used directly outside the container, with no need for a junction.
