Task
Loops/Continue
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Show the following output using one loop.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Try to achieve the result by forcing the next iteration whitin the loop upon a specific condition, if your language allows it.

Ada

Ada has no continue reserved word, nor does it need one. The continue reserved word is only syntactic sugar for operations that can be achieved without it as in the following example.

<lang ada> with Ada.Text_Io; use Ada.Text_Io;

procedure Loop_Continue is begin

  for I in 1..10 loop
     Put(Integer'Image(I));
     if I mod 5 = 0 then
        New_Line;
     else
        Put(",");
     end if;
  end loop;

end Loop_Continue; </lang>

ALGOL 68

ALGOL 68 has no continue reserved word, nor does it need one. The continue reserved word is only syntactic sugar for operations that can be achieved without it as in the following example:

FOR i FROM 1 TO 10 DO
  print ((i, 
    IF i MOD 5 = 0 THEN
      new line
    ELSE
      ","
    FI
  ))
OD

Output:

         +1,         +2,         +3,         +4,         +5
         +6,         +7,         +8,         +9,        +10

AutoHotkey

<lang autohotkey> Loop, 10 {

 Delimiter := (A_Index = 5) || (A_Index = 10) ? "`n":", "
 Index .= A_Index . Delimiter

} MsgBox %Index% </lang>

AWK

<lang awk>BEGIN {

 for(i=1; i <= 10; i++) {
   printf("%d", i)
   if ( i % 5 == 0 ) {
     print
     continue
   }
   printf(", ")
 }

}</lang>

C

Translation of: C++

<lang c>for(int i = 1;i <= 10; i++){

  printf("%d", i);
  if(i % 5 == 0){
     printf("\n");
     continue;
  }
  printf(", ");

}</lang>

C++

Translation of: Java

<lang cpp>for(int i = 1;i <= 10; i++){

  cout << i;
  if(i % 5 == 0){
     cout << endl;
     continue;
  }
  cout << ", ";

}</lang>

C#

Translation of: Java

<lang csharp>using System;

class Program {

   static void Main(string[] args) {
       for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
           Console.Write(i);
           if (i % 5 == 0) {
               Console.WriteLine();
               continue;
           }
           Console.Write(", ");
       }
   }

}</lang>

ColdFusion

Remove the leading space from the line break tag.

<cfscript>
  for( i = 1; i <= 10; i++ )
  {
    writeOutput( i );
    if( 0 == i % 5 )
    {
      writeOutput( "< br />" );
      continue;
    }
    writeOutput( "," );
  }
</cfscript>

D

<lang d>for(int i = 1;i <= 10; i++){

 writef(i);
 if(i % 5 == 0){
   writefln();
   continue;
 }
 writef(", ");

}</lang>

E

<lang e>for i in 1..10 {

   print(i)
   if (i %% 5 == 0) { 
       println()
       continue
   }
   print(", ")

}</lang>

Forth

Although this code solves the task, there is no portable equivalent to "continue" for either DO-LOOPs or BEGIN loops. <lang forth>

main
 11 1 do
   i dup 1 r.
   5 mod 0= if cr else [char] , emit space then
 loop ;

</lang>

Fortran

Works with: Fortran version 90 and later

<lang fortran>do i = 1, 10

  write(*, '(I0)', advance='no') i
  if ( mod(i, 5) == 0 ) then
     write(*,*)
     cycle
  end if
  write(*, '(A)', advance='no') ', '

end do</lang>

Haskell

As a functional language, it is not idiomatic to have true loops - recursion is used instead. Below is one of many possible implementations of the task. The below code uses a guard (| symbol) to compose functions differently for the two alternative output paths, instead of using continue like in an imperative language.

<lang haskell> import Control.Monad (forM) main = forM [1..10] out

   where
     out x | (x `mod` 5 == 0) = (putStrLn . show) x
           | otherwise = (putStr . (++", ") . show) x</lang>

J

J is array-oriented, so there is very little need for loops. For example, one could satisfy this task this way:

_2}."1'lq<, >'8!:2>:i.2 5

J does support loops for those times they can't be avoided (just like many languages support gotos for those time they can't be avoided).

   3 : 0 ] 10 
        z=.''
        for_i. 1 + i.y do.
            z =. z , ": i

             if. 0 = 5 | i do.
                  z 1!:2 ]2 
                  z =. ''
                  continue. 
             end. 

             z =. z , ', '
        end.
     i.0 0
   )

Though it's rare to see J code like this.


Java

<lang java>for(int i = 1;i <= 10; i++){

  System.out.print(i);
  if(i % 5 == 0){
     System.out.println();
     continue;
  }
  System.out.print(", ");

}</lang>

Mathematica

<lang Mathematica> tmp = ""; For[i = 1, i <= 10, i++,

 tmp = tmp <> ToString[i];
 If[Mod[i, 5] == 0,
  tmp = tmp <> "\n";
  ,
  tmp = tmp <> ", ";
  ];
 ];

Print[tmp] </lang>

MAXScript

for i in 1 to 10 do
(
    format "%" i
    if mod i 5 == 0 then
    (
        format "\n"
        continue
    )   continue
    format ", "
)

Metafont

Metafont has no a continue (or similar) keyword. As the Ada solution, we can complete the task just with conditional.

<lang metafont>string s; s := ""; for i = 1 step 1 until 10: if i mod 5 = 0:

 s := s & decimal i & char10;

else:

 s := s & decimal i & ", "

fi; endfor message s; end</lang>

Since message append always a newline at the end, we need to build a string and output it at the end, instead of writing the output step by step.

Note: mod is not a built in; like TeX, "bare Metafont" is rather primitive, and normally a set of basic macros is preloaded to make it more usable; in particular mod is defined as

<lang metafont>primarydef x mod y = (x-y*floor(x/y)) enddef;</lang>

Modula-3

Modula-3 defines the keyword RETURN as an exception, but when it is used with no arguments it works just like continue in C.

Note, however, that RETURN only works inside a procedure or a function procedure; use EXIT otherwise.

Module code and imports are omitted.

FOR i := 1 TO 10 DO
  IO.PutInt(i);
  IF i MOD 5 = 0 THEN
    IO.Put("\n");
    RETURN;
  END;
  IO.Put(", ");
END;

MOO

<lang moo>s = ""; for i in [1..10]

 s += tostr(i);
 if (i % 5 == 0)
   player:tell(s);
   s = "";
   continue;
 endif
 s += ", ";

endfor</lang>

Octave

<lang octave>v = ""; for i = 1:10

 v = sprintf("%s%d", v, i);
 if ( mod(i, 5) == 0 ) 
   disp(v)
   v = "";
   continue
 endif
 v = sprintf("%s, ", v);

endfor</lang>

Perl

<lang perl>foreach (1..10) {

   print $_;
   if ($_ % 5 == 0) {
       print "\n";
       next;
   }
   print ', ';

}</lang>

PHP

<lang php>for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {

   echo $i;
   if ($i % 5 == 0) {
       echo "\n";
       continue;
   }
   echo ', ';

}</lang>

Pop11

lvars i;
for i from 1 to 10 do
   printf(i, '%p');
   if i rem 5 = 0 then
       printf('\n');
       nextloop;
   endif;
   printf(', ')
endfor;

Python

<lang python>for i in xrange(1,11):

   if i % 5 == 0:
       print i
       continue
   print i, ",",</lang>

R

Translated from C++. <lang R> for(i in 1:10) {

  cat(i)
  if(i %% 5 == 0) 
  {
     cat("\n")
     next
  }
  cat(", ")

} </lang>

REXX

(Remember that there exists implementations of the REXX language that needs that the source begins with /*, i.e. with a comment) <lang rexx>do i = 1 to 10

 call charout ,i", "
 if i//5 = 0 then do
   say
   iterate
 end

end</lang>

Ruby

<lang ruby>for i in 1..10 do

  print i
  if i % 5 == 0 then
     puts
     next
  end
  print ', '

end</lang> The "for" look could be written like this: <lang ruby>(1..10).each do |i| ... 1.upto(10) do |i| ... 10.times do |n| i=n+1; ...</lang> Without meeting the criteria (showing loop continuation), this task could be written as: <lang ruby>1.upto(10) {|i| print "%d%s" % [i, i%5==0 ? "\n" : ", "]}</lang>

Tcl

<lang tcl>for {set i 1} {$i <= 10} {incr i} {

  puts -nonewline $i
  if {$i % 5 == 0} {
     puts ""
     continue
  }
  puts -nonewline ", "

}</lang>
