//

|
// The Zig language is in rapid development and continuously improves
|
|
// the language constructs steadily.
|
|
//
|
|
// Since version 0.11, the "for-loops" widely used in other languages
|
|
// such as C, e.g. "for (int i = 0; i < 10..." can now also be formed
|
|
// similarly in Zig, which previously required a "while" construct.
|
|
// Similar in this case actually means better, just as Zig generally
|
|
// tries to make everything simple and "better".
|
|
//
|
|
// These new "for-loops" look like the following in Zig:
|
|
//
|
|
// for (0..10) |idx| {
|
|
// // In this case 'idx' takes all values from 0 to 9.
|
|
// }
|
|
//
|
|
// This is really simple and can replace the previous, somewhat bulky:
|
|
//
|
|
// var idx: usize = 0;
|
|
// while (idx < 10) : (idx += 1) {
|
|
// // Again, idx takes all values from 0 to 9.
|
|
// }
|
|
//
|
|
// This would also simplify exercise 13, for example.
|
|
// The best way to try this out is to use this exercise, which in the
|
|
// original looks like this:
|
|
//
|
|
// ...
|
|
// var n: u32 = 1;
|
|
//
|
|
// // I want to print every number between 1 and 20 that is NOT
|
|
// // divisible by 3 or 5.
|
|
// while (n <= 20) : (n += 1) {
|
|
// // The '%' symbol is the "modulo" operator and it
|
|
// // returns the remainder after division.
|
|
// if (n % 3 == 0) continue;
|
|
// if (n % 5 == 0) continue;
|
|
// std.debug.print("{} ", .{n});
|
|
// }
|
|
// ...
|
|
//
|
|
const std = @import("std");
|
|
|
|
// And now with the new "for-loop".
|
|
pub fn main() void {
|
|
|
|
// I want to print every number between 1 and 20 that is NOT
|
|
// divisible by 3 or 5.
|
|
for (???) |n| {
|
|
|
|
// The '%' symbol is the "modulo" operator and it
|
|
// returns the remainder after division.
|
|
if (n % 3 == 0) continue;
|
|
if (n % 5 == 0) continue;
|
|
std.debug.print("{} ", .{n});
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
std.debug.print("\n", .{});
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Is actually a little easier. The interesting thing here is that the other
|
|
// previous 'while' exercises (11,12, 14) cannot be simplified by this
|
|
// new "for-loop". Therefore it is good to be able to use both variations
|
|
// accordingly.
