ODSL Array Iteration Syntax

Great question! Here are the main ways to iterate through arrays in ODSL:

1. For…In Loop (Iterating through array elements)

Use for arg in args followed by next to loop through an array and print each element

:

args = ["Hello", "World"]
for arg in args
print arg
next

2. For Loop (Iterating through a range of numbers)

You can loop through a sequence of numbers using a for statement from a start to end value, with next ending the loop

:

for i = 1 to 10
print i
next

3. While Loop

Used to loop around code whilst a condition is true

:

a = 0
while a < 10
a = a + 1
end

4. Conditional Logic within Loops

You can add conditions within loops using if, elseif, and else statements, where equality checks use == (distinguishing from assignment with single =)

:

for i = 1 to 10
if i > 5
print i
elseif i == 3
print "Three"
else
print "Something else"
end
next

Key Points:

• Arrays are constructed using square brackets [' and ']'

• ODSL is simple and similar to BASIC with special extensions
• The VS Code ODSL extension provides helpful code snippets - typing for at the start of a line prompts a template you can tab through and customize
