Maple function for while
-
In the following the algorithm inside the for while loop runs until the condition the A * B = 0 is met. When the condition is met the for statement finishes and algorithm returns the values of A and B as a list.
#Algorithm $res = maple(" randomize(): gen := rand(0 .. 5): det := 1: for i while det <> 0 do A := gen(); B := gen(); det := A*B end do: [i,A,B] "); $A=switch(1,$res); $B=switch(2,$res);
In the output below you can see the first value of the list is the variable i, which is the number of times the loop ran until it succeeded.
