Loops

Doxa provides three types of loops: while, for, and each. While while and for work like traditional loops in most languages, each offers a more modern, collection-focused approach.

While

The while loop continues executing as long as a condition remains true:

var currentNumber is 0;
while currentNumber <= 100 {
    currentNumber += 1;
}

For

The for loop uses traditional C-style syntax with initialization, condition, and increment:

for (var i is 0; i < x; i++) {
    doSomething(myArray[i]);
}

Each

The each loop is Doxa's modern iteration construct for collections. It's cleaner and safer than indexed loops:

each x in arr {
    doSomething(x);
}

Each with Index

You can also access the index using the at keyword:

each x at i in arr {
    if i < 3 then doSomething(x);
}

The each loop eliminates the need for manual index management and reduces the risk of off-by-one errors that are common with traditional for loops.
