Using While

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm trying to make a rule or multiple rules that will run and calculate different dimensions. I don't think it will be too difficult, but I'm not sure how to write iLogic, especially trying to run certain rules only under certain conditions.  Here is an example of my idea of the syntax.

Rule 1:

While (SecondDist = 0 & ThirdDist = 0)

     *math*

End While

Rule 2:

While (ThirdDist = 0)

     *math*

End While

Rule 3:

While (FirstDist=0 & SecondDist = 0 & ThirdDist = 0)

     *math*

End While

Rule 4:

While (FirstDist !=0 & SecondDist != 0 & ThirdDist != 0)

     *math*

End While

Use "and"

Rule 1:

While (SecondDist = 0 and ThirdDist = 0)

     *math*

End While

However, the only time you should need to use while in doing a calculation is if it is an iterative calculation. If you are doing a 1 time calculation, you should be using IF statements. It seems like having that many iterating parameters could lead to an unstable solution and just cause your code to run in an infinite loop and crash your machine.
