Example
Connect to the following program with the terminal window set to 9600 baud. The program will start
counting down from 100 until it equals 0. Once index = 0, the program will quit because the condition
is no longer true since 0 = false. In programming, 0 is always considered false. If a condition is tested
and the results equal 0 then a false is returned.
Index var word
Main
End
Index = 100
Do
index = index - 1
serout s_out, i9600,[0, “Counting: “, dec index]
pause 75
While index ;repeat until index is 0, which is a false expression
serout s_out, i9600, [13,13, “Index = “, dec index]
serout s_out, i9600, [13, “My condition is no longer true.”]
serout s_out, i9600, [13, “Index is now false”]
