How to Use nested loops in Lua Programming

This article describes how to use nested loops in Lua programming. It is the basic knowledge of Lua beginners. For more information, see

The Lua programming language allows one loop to embed another loop. The following describes several examples to illustrate this concept.

Syntax

The nested loop syntax statement in Lua is as follows:

The Code is as follows:

For init, max/min value, increment

Do

For init, max/min value, increment

Do

Statement (s)

End

Statement (s)

End

The nested while LOOP syntax statement in Lua programming language is as follows:

The Code is as follows:

While (condition)

Do

While (condition)

Do

Statement (s)

End

Statement (s)

End

The syntax statement of the Lua programming language nested repeat... until loop is as follows:

The Code is as follows:

Repeat

Statement (s)

Repeat

Statement (s)

Until (condition)

Until (condition)

At the end of loop nesting, it should be noted that any type of loop can be put into any other type of loop. For example, a for loop can be in another while loop, and vice versa.

For example:

The following program uses a nested loop:

The Code is as follows:

J = 2

For I = 2, 10 do

For j = 2, (I/j), 2 do

If (not (I % j ))

Then

Break

End

If (j> (I/j) then

Print ("Value of I is", I)

End

End

End

When the above Code is created and run, it will produce the following results.

The Code is as follows:

Value of I is 8

Value of I is 9

Value of I is 10
