RE: do while loops

[Anonymous Monk]

in reply to do while loops

need a semicolon at end of first line "$value=5"

[snafu]

Couldn't $value = $value - 1; be written like this?:

$value -= 1;          # or
$value--   ;          # since its just -1

Yeah, they could.
I think this example is trying to limit itself to the syntax of the do/while loop, though. So it can be fully understood on its own. Using the 'minimalist' decrement operators might distract someone new to the language.
