Re: Infinite, finite and conditional loop??
This post of scimonster's probably explains it better than I ever could

Re: Infinite, finite and conditional loop??
An infinite loop is one which repeats forever.
A finite loop is one which repeats for a set amount of times.
A conditional loop is one that repeats until a condition (eg healthlevel < 1) is true or false.
Programming is an art...
Goodbye, Scratch. I am leaving because of the exams coming up at our school, though I'll check the forums once or twice a week.

Yet another spam-like post of this kind by you.

Re: Infinite, finite and conditional loop??
Of course, an infinite loop can be faked by a conditional loop whose condition never allows it to stop (repeat until false or while true). Also, loops can be atomic, which means is evaluates it all then displays, or nonatomic, which means it displays after each run. Scratch uses nonatomic, which allows an infinite loop. However, if you use something like JavaScript, you'll find while(true) will crash your browser.

That's not really spam. It's saying that ProgramCAT's post is true.(It is by the way.)

It's just that I've seen at least 12 very similar posts by turkey3 on other such threads, 'agreeing' to posts but not contributing any information.

Infinite Loop:
forever go to [mouse-pointer v] endConditional Loop:
repeat until <(timer) > [10]> go to [mouse-pointer v] endFinite Loop:
repeat [10] go to [mouse-pointer v] end
