The list x clause may be omitted, in which case no list is accumulated, and null is returned as the value of the expression.
i3 : i = 0 ; while i < 4 do (print i; i = i+1) 0 1 2 3 |
Alternatively, the do z clause may be omitted.
i5 : i = 0 ; while i < 10 list (i = i+1; i^2)

Observe the use of the semicolon (see ;) in the expression above.
If continue is executed by x then execution of x is interrupted, no value is added to the list, and iteration of the loop continues.
i7 : i = 0 ; while i < 10 list (i = i+1; if odd i then continue; i^2)
o8 = {4, 16, 36, 64, 100}
o8 : List

If continue w is executed by x then execution of x is interrupted, the value of w is added to the list, and iteration of the loop continues.
i9 : i = 0 ; while i < 10 list (i = i+1; if odd i then continue x; i^2)
o10 = {x, 4, x, 16, x, 36, x, 64, x, 100}

If break v is executed by x, then the loop is stopped and v is returned as its value.
i11 : i = 0 ; while i < 10 list (i = i+1; if i == 5 then break i; i^2) o12 = 5 |
If break is executed by x, then the loop is stopped and the list accumulated so far is returned as the value.
i13 : i = 0 ; while i < 10 list (i = i+1; if i == 5 then break; i^2)
o14 = {1, 4, 9, 16}
o14 : List
