Loops

DryLang uses the lp keyword for all looping.

Fixed Count Loop

Loop a specific number of times. The index variable i (starting at 0) is automatically injected into the loop context!

lp 5 {
    pt("hello " + str(i)) // i = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
}

Conditional Loop

Loop while a condition is true:

count = 0
lp count < 3 {
    pt(count)
    count = count + 1
}

Infinite Loop

Omit the expression for an infinite loop:

lp {
    pt("forever")
}

Done and Con

lp 10 {
    if i = 5 {
        done
    }
    pt(i)
}

Parallel Execution (mul)

If you want to execute multiple iterations asynchronously in parallel, use the mul keyword. Like lp, mul also automatically injects the i index into its context:

// Spawns 10 parallel background jobs, each receiving its own `i` (0 to 9)
mul 10 processJob(i)
