|
|
+// The Zig language is in rapid development and continuously improves
|
|
|
+// the language constructs steadily.
|
|
|
+//
|
|
|
+// Since version 0.11, the "for-loops" widely used in other languages
|
|
|
+// such as C, e.g. "for (int i = 0; i < 10..." can now also be formed
|
|
|
+// similarly in Zig, which previously required a "while" construct.
|
|
|
+// Similar in this case actually means better, just as Zig generally
|
|
|
+// tries to make everything simple and "better".
|
|
|
+//
|
|
|
+// These new "for-loops" look like the following in Zig:
|
|
|
+//
|
|
|
+// for (0..10) |idx| {
|
|
|
+// // In this case 'idx' takes all values from 0 to 9.
|
|
|
+// }
|
|
|
+//
|
|
|
+// This is really simple and can replace the previous, somewhat bulky:
|
|
|
+//
|
|
|
+// var idx: usize = 0;
|
|
|
+// while (idx < 10) : (idx += 1) {
|
|
|
+// // Again, idx takes all values from 0 to 9.
|
|
|
+// }
|
|
|
+//
|
|
|
+// This would also simplify exercise 13, for example.
|
|
|
+// The best way to try this out is to use this exercise, which in the
|
|
|
+// original looks like this:
|
|
|
+//
|
|
|
+// ...
|
|
|
+// var n: u32 = 1;
|
|
|
+//
|
|
|
+// // I want to print every number between 1 and 20 that is NOT
|
|
|
+// // divisible by 3 or 5.
|
|
|
+// while (n <= 20) : (n += 1) {
|
|
|
+// // The '%' symbol is the "modulo" operator and it
|
|
|
+// // returns the remainder after division.
|
|
|
+// if (n % 3 == 0) continue;
|
|
|
+// if (n % 5 == 0) continue;
|
|
|
+// std.debug.print("{} ", .{n});
|
|
|
+// }
|
|
|
+// ...
|
|
|
+//
|
|
|
+const std = @import("std");
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+// And now with the new "for-loop".
|
|
|
+pub fn main() void {
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ // I want to print every number between 1 and 20 that is NOT
|
|
|
+ // divisible by 3 or 5.
|
|
|
+ for (???) |n| {
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ // The '%' symbol is the "modulo" operator and it
|
|
|
+ // returns the remainder after division.
|
|
|
+ if (n % 3 == 0) continue;
|
|
|
+ if (n % 5 == 0) continue;
|
|
|
+ std.debug.print("{} ", .{n});
|
|
|
+ }
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ std.debug.print("\n", .{});
|
|
|
+}
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+// Is actually a little easier. The interesting thing here is that the other
|
|
|
+// previous 'while' exercises (11,12, 14) cannot be simplified by this
|
|
|
+// new "for-loop". Therefore it is good to be able to use both variations
|
|
|
+// accordingly.
