Time Narration
00:01 Welcome to the tutorial on while and until loops in Ruby.
00:06 In this tutorial we will learn to use-
00:09 while loop
00:10 until loop
00:11 redo
00:12 and break
00:13 We are using
00:14 Ubuntu version 12.04
00:17 Ruby 1.9.3
00:20 To follow this tutorial, you must have Internet Connection.
00:25 You must also have knowledge of Linux commands, Terminal and Text-editor.
00:29 If not, for relevant tutorials, please visit our website.
00:34 Before we begin, recall that we had created ttt directory earlier.
00:38 Let's go to that directory.
00:41 Then to ruby hyphen tutorial and looping hyphen statements directory.
00:46 Now that we are in that folder, let’s move ahead.
00:50 The syntax of the while loop in Ruby is as follows:
00:54 while “boolean expression”
00:56 ruby code
00:57 end
00:58 Let us look at an example.
01:01 Create a new file in gedit as shown in the basic level Ruby tutorials.
01:05 Name it while hyphen loop dot rb
01:09 I have a working example of the while loop.
01:13 Now let us switch to the terminal and type gedit space while hyphen loop dot rb space & (ampersand)
01:24 You can pause the tutorial, type the code as we go through it.
01:28 I have declared a while loop in this example.
01:32 First, I declared a local variable i and initialized it with value 0.
01:38 Then I declare a while loop.
01:41 This loop will execute as long as the variable i is greater than -10.
01:46 The puts method is declared within the while loop will display the output.
01:51 After the output is displayed, we decrement the value of i by 1.
01:56 i will adopt this decremented value before the next iteration.
02:01 The variable i gets decremented in every iteration.
02:04 This goes on till i reaches the value -10,
02:09 At this point the while condition fails.
02:12 It subsequently breaks out of the loop and stops printing the output.
02:16 Now, let us switch to the terminal and type ruby space while hyphen loop dot rb and see the output.
02:30 The output will consist of a list of numbers 0 through -9.
02:35 You should now be able to write your own while loop in Ruby.
02:40 Let's look at the until loop next.
02:43 The syntax for the until loop in Ruby is -
02:45 until “boolean expression”
02:47 ruby code
02:48 end
02:50 Let us look at an example.
02:52 Now let us switch to a terminal and type gedit space until hyphen loop dot rb space & (ampersand)
03:03 You can pause the tutorial, and type the code as we go through it.
03:07 I have declared an until loop in this example.
03:12 We had declared a local variable i and initialized it to 0.
03:16 Then we declare an until loop.
03:18 This loop will execute as long as the variable i is greater than -10.
03:23 The puts method will display the output.
03:27 After the output is displayed, value of i is decremented by 1.
03:32 i will adopt this decremented value before the next iteration.
03:36 The variable i gets decremented during every iteration.
03:40 This goes on till i reaches the value -11.
03:43 At this point the until condition fails.
03:46 Subsequently, it breaks out of the loop and stops printing the output.
03:51 Now switch to the terminal and type ruby space until hyphen loop dot rb and see the output.
04:03 The output will consist of a list of numbers 0 through -10.
04:08 You should now be able to write your own until loop in Ruby.
04:13 Let's now move on to the redo construct.
04:16 The syntax for redo in Ruby is as follows:
04:20 a collection of objects.each do item
04:25 a conditional statement
04:27 ruby code
04:28 redo
04:29 end conditional
04:30 end loop
04:32 I have a working example of the redo loop.
04:35 Now let us switch to the terminal and type gedit space redo hyphen loop dot rb space &(ampersand )
04:48 You can pause the tutorial, and type the code as we go through it.
04:52 I have declared an each loop in this example.
04:55 We have declared an each loop to iterate through numbers 10 to 20.
05:00 Then, we define an if conditional statement.
05:04 The loop will execute for every number between 10 to 20.
05:08 It will enter the inner conditional if conditional block only if the value of i is equal to 20.
05:15 The puts method declared within the each loop displays the output.
05:20 Once the program enters the if conditional block, it will first print the output.
05:24 Then it will execute redo.
05:28 redo will execute the iteration of the most internal loop.
05:31 It will do so without checking the loop condition.
05:34 Our condition being if i == 20.
05:38 The result will be an infinite loop, since the value of i will not change from 20.
05:43 Let's switch to the terminal and type ruby space redo hyphen loop dot rb
05:52 and see the output.
05:53 The output will consist of an infinite loop that never ends.
05:58 Press Ctrl + C to terminate the infinite loop
06:03 Now, let us look at the break statement.
06:06 The syntax for the break statement in Ruby is -
06:10 a looping statement
06:12 a conditional statement
06:13 break
06:14 end conditional
06:16 ruby code
06:17 end loop
06:18 Let us look at an example.
06:21 Now let us switch to the terminal and type gedit space break hyphen loop dot rb space ampersand.
06:33 You can pause the tutorial, and type the code as we go through this example.
06:38 I have declared an each loop in this example.
06:41 It is similar to the one we used earlier.
06:43 The puts method here will display the output for numbers 11 to 19.
06:49 Once the value becomes 20, the program enters the conditional if block.
06:54 At this point, it will encounter the break statement and break out of the loop.
06:59 Now open the terminal and type
07:02 ruby space break hyphen loop dot rb
07:05 and see the output.
07:08 The output will consist of numbers 10 through 19.
07:13 Now you should be able to create your own break construct.
07:17 This brings us to the end of this Spoken Tutorial.
07:20 Let's summarize.
07:22 In this tutorial we have learnt to use
07:24 while loop
07:25 until construct
07:26 redo
07:27 break construct
07:29 As as assignment
07:31 Consider a range of numbers 100 to 115(inclusive) represented as Fahrenheit.
07:38 Write a Ruby program using
07:40 the appropriate loop construct
07:42 that uses the Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion formula
07:46 against the given range of numbers
07:49 To display the output: “The temperature has reached a certain degree Celcius and has become unbearable”
07:55 when the temperature in Celcius is above 32 degree Celcius
