Loops/Break

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

Show a loop which prints random numbers (each number newly generated each loop) from 0 to 19 (inclusive).

If a number is 10, stop the loop after printing it, and do not generate any further numbers.

Otherwise, generate and print a second random number before restarting the loop.

If the number 10 is never generated as the first number in a loop, loop forever.

Avail

rng ::= a pRNG;
checked : [0..19];
Do [
    checked : = rng's next [0..19];
    Print: “checked”;
] while checked ≠ 10 alternate with [
    Print: " " ++ “rng's next [0..19]” ++ "\n";
];

This demonstrates two interesting Avail features: the alternate with loop structures, which provide two separate code blocks that are run with a check in between, and the random number generator's ability to pick an item from the ranger of a given number type ([0..19] is an expression generating a type whose values are integers in the range 0-19 inclusive).

Because Axe only supports breaking out of loops as end conditions, the behavior must be simulated using a return statement. Note, however, that this will exit the current call context, not the necessarily just the current loop.

ZX Spectrum Basic

On the ZX Spectrum, for loops must be terminated through the NEXT statement, otherwise a memory leak will occur. To terminate a loop prematurely, set the loop counter to the last iterative value and jump to the NEXT statement:

10 FOR l = 1 TO 20
20 IF l = 10 THEN LET l = 20: GO TO 40: REM terminate the loop
30 PRINT l
40 NEXT l
50 STOP

The correct solution:

10 LET a = INT (RND * 20)
20 PRINT a
30 IF a = 10 THEN STOP
40 PRINT INT (RND * 20)
50 GO TO 10

Works with: Fortran version 66 and earlier

Anyone who attempts to produce random numbers via a computation is already in a state of sin, so, one might as well be hung as a goat rather than as a lamb. Here is a version using the RANDU generator, in the style of Fortran 66 as offered by the IBM1130. No logical-if statements and reliance on implicit type declarations. Sixteen-bit integers result. The standard advice is to start IX off as an odd number. Note that RANDU does not update IX (the "seed"); the caller must do so. Since integer overflow producing negative numbers is undone by adding 32768 (trusting that the compiler will not attempt to combine constants, thus + 32767 + 1) in the absence of an AND operation, possible values for IY are presumably zero to 32767. Since IY is divided by 32767.0 (not 32768.0 for example), the range for YFL is zero to one inclusive, though further inspection shows that zero is not attained for proper starts - should IX be zero it will never change, thus the span is (0,1]; a more common arrangement is [0,1).

Because the upper bound is attainable, multiplying YFL by 19 and truncating the result will mean that 19 appears only as an edge event when IY = 32767. Multiplying by 20 will ensure that 19 gets its fair share along with each other integer, but, the edge event might now occasionally produce a 20. There is no MIN function available, so, explicit testing results. Rather than repeat this code with its consequent litter of labels, a helper function IR19 does the work once. These out-by-one opportunities are vexing.

The RANDU routine is so notorious that latter-day compilers can supply their own RANDU (using a better method), and further, disregard a user-supplied RANDU routine so it may have to be called RANDUU or some other name!

      SUBROUTINE RANDU(IX,IY,YFL)
Copied from the IBM1130 Scientific Subroutines Package (1130-CM-02X): Programmer's Manual, page 60.
CAUTION! This routine's 32-bit variant is reviled by Prof. Knuth and many others for good reason!
        IY = IX*899
        IF (IY) 5,6,6
    5   IY = IY + 32767 + 1
    6   YFL = IY
        YFL = YFL/32767.
      END

      FUNCTION IR19(IX)
        CALL RANDU(IX,IY,YFL)
        IX = IY
        I = YFL*20
        IF (I - 20) 12,11,11
   11   I = 19
   12   IR19 = I
      END

      IX = 1
Commence the loop.
   10 I = IR19(IX)
      WRITE (6,11) I
   11 FORMAT (I3)
      IF (I - 10) 12,20,12
   12 I = IR19(IX)
      WRITE (6,11) I
      GO TO 10
Cease.
   20 CONTINUE
      END

Output, converted to along the line:

 0 13  4 19  1  7  2 12  4  7 14 11  6  4  0  9  5 12 16 19 18  2  0 13  2  7 10

This source will compile with later compilers (possibly after adding INTEGER*2 declarations to not use larger integers), as well as earlier compilers. But the IBM1620's Fortran II ran on a decimal computer (and the compiler allowed an option to specify how many digits in a number) so the assumption of sixteen-bit two's-complement arithmetic would fail. There was once much more variety in computer design, not just always a power of two in word sizes.

Notes:

  • For any positive integer i, ?i produces a value j where 1 <= j <= i
  • Although this can be written with a break (e.g. repeat expression & break), there is no need to actually use one. (And it's ugly).
  • Programmers new to Icon/Unicon need to understand that just about everything returns values including comparison operators, I/O functions like write/writes.
  • This program will perform similarly but not identically under Icon and Unicon because the random operator ?i behaves differently. While both produce pseudo-random numbers a different generator is used. Also, the sequence produced by Icon begins with the same seed value and is repeatable whereas the sequence produced by Unicon does not. One way to force Icon to use different random sequences on each call would be to add the line
    &random := integer(map("smhSMH","Hh:Mm:Ss",&clock))
    
    at the start of the main procedure to set the random number seed based on the time of day.

If we step back for a moment from imperative assumptions about repetitive processes and their interruption, we may notice that there is actually no necessary connection between repetitive process and loops.

In a functional idiom of JavaScript, we might instead write something like:

(function streamTillInitialTen() {
    var nFirst = Math.floor(Math.random() * 20);
        
    console.log(nFirst);
    
    if (nFirst === 10) return true;
    
    console.log(
        Math.floor(Math.random() * 20)
    );
    
    return streamTillInitialTen();
})();

Obtaining runs like:

18
10
16
10
8
0
13
3
2
14
15
17

5
16
3

6
7
19
0

9

11

10

Though returning a value composes better, and costs less IO traffic, than firing off side-effects from a moving thread:

console.log(
  (function streamTillInitialTen() {
    var nFirst = Math.floor(Math.random() * 20);
  
    if (nFirst === 10) return [10];
  
    return [
      nFirst,
      Math.floor(Math.random() * 20)
    ].concat(
      streamTillInitialTen()
    );
  })().join('\n')
);

jq

With the functions defined below, the task can be accomplished using the following jq filter:

   take( rand(20); . != 10 )

Here, `rand(n)` is a pseudo-random number generator, and `take(stream; cond)` will continue taking from the stream so long as the condition is satisfied. When the condition is no longer satisfied, the PRNG is immediately terminated.

Using the built-in `foreach` construct, the above is equivalent to:

   label $done | foreach rand(20) as $n (null; $n; if . == 10 then break $done else . end)

PRNG

Currently, jq does not have a built-in random-number generator, so here we borrow one of the linear congruential generators defined at https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator -

# 15-bit integers generated using the same formula as rand() 
# from the Microsoft C Runtime.
# Input: [ count, state, rand ]
def next_rand_Microsoft:
  .[0] as $count | .[1] as $state
  | ( (214013 * $state) + 2531011) % 2147483648 # mod 2^31
  | [$count+1 , ., (. / 65536 | floor) ];
 
def rand_Microsoft(seed):
  [0,seed]
  | next_rand_Microsoft  # the seed is not so random
  | recurse( next_rand_Microsoft )
  | .[2];

# Generate random integers from 0 to (n-1):
def rand(n): n * (rand_Microsoft(17) / 32768) | trunc;

"take"

def take(s; cond):
  label $done
  | foreach s as $n (null; $n; if $n | cond | not then break $done else . end);

"count"

Since the PRNG used here is deterministic, we'll just count the number of integers generated:

def count(s): reduce s as $i (0; . + 1);

   count(take(rand(20); . != 10))

Demonstrate breaking.
Wait for the escape key.
Shut down.

To demonstrate breaking:
Pick a number between 0 and 19.
Write the number to the console.
If the number is 10, break.
Pick another number between 0 and 19.
Write the other number to the console.
Repeat.

To write a number to the console:
Convert the number to a string.
Write the string to the console.

Scheme

(let loop ((first (random 20)))
  (print first)
  (if (not (= first 10))
      (begin
        (print (random 20))
        (loop (random 20)))))

Or by using call/cc to break out:

(call/cc 
 (lambda (break)
   (let loop ((first (random 20)))
     (print first)
     (if (= first 10)
         (break))
     (print (random 20))
     (loop (random 20)))))

Scilab

Seed7

Seed7 has no goto statement and hidden gotos like break- and continue-statements are also omitted. But this is not a problem. All programs with break-statements can be rewritten as structured programs without break. Usually structured programs have better readability. If you are used to it writing programs without goto (and break) is easy. The example below shows how easy a break can be avoided in this exercise. The loop ends, if the first random number is 10. The second random number does never terminate the loop.

$ include "seed7_05.s7i";

const proc: main is func
  local
    var integer: number is 0;
  begin
    repeat
      number := rand(0, 19);
      writeln(number);
      if number <> 10 then
        writeln(rand(0, 19));
      end if;
    until number = 10;
  end func;

Sidef

Smalltalk

[
    |first second done|

    first := Random nextIntegerBetween:0 and:19.
    Stdout print:first; cr.
    (done := (first == 10)) ifFalse:[
        second := Random nextIntegerBetween:0 and:19.
        Stdout print:' '; print:second; cr.
    ].
    done
] whileFalse

alternative:

[:exit |
    |first|

    Stdout printCR: (first := Random nextIntegerBetween:0 and:19).
    first == 10 ifTrue:[ exit value:nil ].
    Stdout print:' '; printCR: (Random nextIntegerBetween:0 and:19).
] loopWithExit.

or shorter (because ifTrue: sends #value to its arg):

[:exit |
    |first|

    Stdout printCR: (first := Random nextIntegerBetween:0 and:19).
    first == 10 ifTrue:exit.
    Stdout print:' '; printCR: (Random nextIntegerBetween:0 and:19).

SNOBOL4

Most Snobols lack a built-in rand( ) function. Kludgy "Linux-only" implementation:

	input(.random,io_findunit(),1,"/dev/urandom")
while	&ALPHABET random @rand
	output = rand = rand - (rand / 20) * 20 
	eq(rand,10)	 :f(while)
end

Or using a library function:

* rand(n) -> real x | 0 <= x < n
-include 'random.sno'

loop    ne(output = convert(rand(20)'integer'),10) :s(loop)
end

SPL

Direct approach:

>
  n = #.rnd(20)
  #.output(n)
  << n=10
  n = #.rnd(20)
  #.output(n)

  n = #.rnd(20)
  #.output(n)
  <-
  << n=10

SQL PL

Works with: Db2 LUW

version 9.7 or higher.

With SQL PL:

--#SET TERMINATOR @

SET SERVEROUTPUT ON@

BEGIN
 DECLARE VAL INTEGER;
 LOOP: WHILE (TRUE = TRUE) DO
  SET VAL = INTEGER(RAND() * 20);
  CALL DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(VAL);
  IF (VAL = 10) THEN
   LEAVE LOOP;
  END IF;
  SET VAL = INTEGER(RAND() * 20);
  CALL DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(VAL);
 END WHILE LOOP;
END @

Output:

db2 -td@
db2 => SET SERVEROUTPUT ON@
DB20000I  The SET SERVEROUTPUT command completed successfully.
db2 => BEGIN

db2 (cont.) => END @
DB20000I  The SQL command completed successfully.

Since V11.1, the builtin module can be used instead of RAND, like this:

SET VAL = CALL DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE(0,20);

UNIX Shell

This script gets random numbers from jot(1). If there is any error with jot(1), the script exits.

Works with: Bourne Shell
Library: jot
while true; do
	a=`jot -w %d -r 1 0 20` || exit $?
	echo $a
	test 10 -eq $a && break
	b=`jot -w %d -r 1 0 20` || exit $?
	echo $b
done

Korn Shells have a RANDOM parameter.

Works with: Bash
Works with: pdksh version 5.2.14
while true; do
  echo $((a=RANDOM%20))
  [ $a -eq 10 ] && break
  echo $((b=RANDOM%20))

VBScript

Based on BASIC version. Demonstrates breaking out of Do/Loop and For/Next (Exit is good for getting out of functions and subs as well).

    If a = 10 Then Exit Do
    b = Int(Rnd * 20)

Loop

For i = 1 To 100000
    a = Int(Rnd * 20)
    WScript.StdOut.Write a 
    If a = 10 Then Exit For
    b = Int(Rnd * 20)
