Talk:Loops/N plus one half: Difference between revisions
→Task name doesn't make sense?
Line 11:
: Actually it turns out I mis-remembered the name of the loop pattern. The correct name seems to be: "Loop and a half".
: "Looping with a different action on the last iteration" would be wrong (and actually pointless, because then the natural thing to do would be to just do the different thing after the loop). After all, the action to do is the same as the action on previous loops, except that on the last iteration not ''all'' of the loop body is executed. --[[User:Ce|Ce]] 17:25, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
:Hi Ce, if what you are after, is to get a conditional within a loop that causes only one of two actions to be done for the last iteration of the loop then the task descriptions use of the term "n+1/2" and even a revised name "Loop and a half" suggest looping (n times), then doing something else, which is counter to the rest of the description. The pattern name is counter to the actions required. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 05:47, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
